Wall takes a dive into underwater construction
HHS graduate gets in the swim of some really wet work
Jim KinG review Staff
PANAMA CITy BEACH, Fla. — A
2011 Hampshire High graduate is
getting his feet wet in a Navy career
that few sailors dive into — underwater
construction.
Petty officer 3rd Class Philip Wall
graduates from his 6-month training
program today. After a little R-and-R
he reports to Port Hueneme, Calif., for a
3-year assignment with the Navy’s West
Coast underwater construction team.
He is one of just 2 sailors completing
the rigorous physical and academic
training this time around.
“My classmate, he’s the smart one,”
Wall quips. “I’m the strong one.”
He’s one of the youngest to graduate
from the program, his dad, John, points
out proudly. But then, Philip Wall got a
quick jump into the Navy.
The former lifeguard at the Romney
Community Pool started boot camp
in October 2011, just before his 19th
birthday. He trained as a construction
electrician in Gulf Port, Miss., before a
6-month deployment to Kuwait and Iraq
in late 2012.
He didn’t see combat in the Arabian
sands, but he had plenty of 12-hour
construction days in temperatures that
often soared to 130 degrees.

The purpose of having more digital eyes, Calvin Davis

to protect the county’s children.
“Of course, there are always disciplinary issues the
video system can help,” he explained. “But, what I also
want the public to understand is that we can also use it to
better spot who runs our red lights.”
Davis described the system as “black-box-like,” in that
it not only records sounds throughout the bus, but also
clearly indicates what lights and signals the bus driver
has initiated, as well as if the driver has the parking

DHHR renews
full license
review Staff
ROMNEy — Ten months after being
shut down, Potomac Center has been
granted a full license to house 8 children
on its main campus.
West Virginia’s Department of Health
and Human Resources said it renewed the
license on Oct. 29. Potomac Center CEO
Rick Harshbarger said the paperwork
arrived on his desk Monday.
DHHR in early April granted Potomac
Center a 6-month license to return 8
children to the facility, about 10 weeks
after it closed down the Intensive Care
Program and removed all 24 children
from the 3 homes on the Romney campus.
Harshbarger called the full license
good news. “They are being cautious,
as they should be,” he said. “They are
very complimentary of the changes we
have made and that we are really working
hard to regain our 100-percent occupancy
status.” He called getting all 24 children
back on campus a matter of “when, not
if.”
A routine investigation into a selfreported incident led to the removal of all
24 children on Jan. 17. The state police
investigation of criminal charges remains
open.

brake engaged, and other important facts.
Davis said there are, internally 5 cameras and externally
2 cameras on each of the school system’s 77 buses. The
internal cameras monitor the driver, the students and the
stairway. The external cameras catch those speedsters.
“There was a bus rear-ended earlier this year,” Davis
said. “When we pulled the hard drive, we saw the bus
was stopped. I could tell the lights and the stop sign
were activated. I could tell the bus driver had the parking
brake engaged.”
The director said that the camera system also helps
him check in with the logistics of the county bus routes.
“If I’ve got a 74-passenger bus, and I can see the video
and we have consistently 64 kids, we can adjust the route
accordingly, too,” he said.

Defense
attorneys
representing
the
Potomac Center in a civil classaction lawsuit have filed a
motion to disqualify all of the
attorneys on the other side of the
trial.
At the heart of the defense’s
charge is an alleged conflict
of interest where an upperlevel management official at
the Potomac Center apparently
spoke with an attorney who
works with another attorney
who is currently representing
the claimant.
“Defendants just recently
learned of a significant conflict
of interest,” reads the motion,
which was filed on Nov. 7 by
attorney David Mincer of Bailey
and Wyant, out of Charleston.
The motion says that Potomac

SUNRISE SUMMIT — A muchanticipated new version of the Main Street
Grill is soon opening its doors — this one,
in Sunrise Summit. And it’s so close, in fact,
you can almost taste it.
This Dec. 1, the new restaurant will swing
wide its doors, ready to showcase a little bit
of the old Main Street Grill’s know-how,
said owners Matt and Jodi Stotler, but also
to showcase a lot of new eats, too.
The Stotlers say they’ve added lunch
options, as well as healthier choices, and
1C
— the biggest change — even an oldfashioned soda shoppe bar. The options
at the U-shaped marble countertop in the
middle of the restaurant include everything
from classic root beer floats to some of the
couple’s own sweet creations.
The variety isn’t just limited to the soda
bar, either. The new Main Street Grill’s menu
runs the gamut from foot-long hotdogs to 16
ounce ribeye steaks to fajita trios to chicken
wings to salads to crab cakes to nearly else
everything in between.

ROMNEy — The first steps of
bringing more affordable housing
to Hampshire County are now in
motion.
Joe Leighton of West Virginia
Community Builders LLC, out
of Bridgeport came to County
Commissioners on Tuesday morning
with a proposal and, then, a request.
The proposal outlined most of the
specifications of a multi-family
housing project here and the request
was for commissioners’ “unqualified
support” of that project moving
forward.
During his presentation, Leighton
outlined what the county could
expect should the project eventually
get the necessary funding from the
state.
The Hampshire County project
would include 32 units, from 1
bedroom to 3 bedrooms each. The
townhouses would not be furnished,
but would include Energy Starcompliant refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers and disposals.

State police investigate child’s death
review Staff
SPRINGFIELD — Last week’s death of an 8-month-old child is
only in the early stages of investigation, West Virginia State Police
said Tuesday morning.
Sgt. R.W. Mason said that, among other issues, investigators
are waiting the results of an autopsy by the West Virginia medical
examiner’s office in Morgantown.
“The toxicology alone might not be back for 2 to 3 months,” he
said. “That’s not uncommon.”
Police are not identifying the victim, per departmental policy.
At 4:55 p.m. on Nov. 11 Trooper First Class M.T. Sherman of the
Romney Detachment responded to Hampshire Memorial Hospital
for the death of the 8-month-old boy. Springfield Rescue Squad
transported the victim to the hospital, where he was pronounced
dead by Hampshire County Medial Examiner, Penny Hartman.
Cpl M.G. Spence is assisting Sherman in the investigation.
Donna Steward, president of the Springfield Rescue Squad, said
she could not provide more information about the case because it’s
under investigation. ❏
Jail cost to hold steady for now
miChAEl o’BriEn review Correspondent
ROMNEy — A shared big sigh of relief
is the response form Hampshire County
officials and their counterparts from around
the state over the recent decision by the West
Virginia Regional Jail Authority to keep the
per diem at its present rate.
The per-diem rate that counties pay to
house prisoners in regional jails won’t
increase this year, according to jail authority
executive director Joe DeLong.
DeLong said an increase isn’t necessary
because of better accounting and a costsaving campaign by state jail officials.
The state jail authority board voted in late
October to leave the per diem rate the same
as it set in 2013.
Hampshire
County
commissioners
allocated $100,000 extra to the county’s
budget to cover jail costs when they set
the budget back in March for the current
operating year. The line item went from
$600,000 to $700,000.
That decision at the local level had more
to due with the numbers of inmates from
Hampshire County that were being housed
in the state operated system.
The numbers have been climbing and
commissioners acted in response to that
trend.
Comparatively speaking, things could be
worse — Kanawha County has the highest
jail bill in the state paying on average about
$350,000 a month to house prisoners at the
South Central Regional Jail.
But that’s sort of like comparing apples
and oranges. Hampshire County is basically
a rural area and county government these
days operates annually in the $8 million
range. On the other hand, Kanawha
County has about 10 times the population
of Hampshire County and its government
operates on an annual budget of nearly $60
million.
Starting about 15 years ago or so, counties
across West Virginia started closing their
respective “county jails” and began sending
inmates to the regional jails that were being
built throughout the state.
At the time, the state was recognized for
its forward-thinking approach as far as the
basic design used at each regional jail site.
Hampshire County is home to 1 of the 10
regional jails in the state with the Potomac
Highlands Regional Jail in Augusta.
The Potomac Highlands facility serves
Hampshire, Mineral, Hardy, Grant and
Pendleton counties. o
State looks at role of county school boards
jim King review Staff
CHARLESTON — The
future of West Virginia’s 55
county school boards is open for
comment until Dec. 11.
Officially, last week, the State
Board of Education opened a
30-day comment period on a
report from the School District
Governance and Administration
Commission that recommends
handing more responsibility to
the state’s 8 regional service
agencies and taking it away
from the county school boards.
Hampshire County Board
of Education President Jean
Shoemaker urged residents to
read the report and offer their
opinions.
“The state will listen to the
taxpayers a whole lot better
than they will listen to the board
members,” she said.
The commission is suggesting
a 5-year restructuring of the
RESAs, changes for board
policies and new legislation
regarding regional services.
Under the plan, RESAs’
primary role would evolve
from resource sharing and
professional development to
taking on broader behindthe-scenes administration for
schools.
“It’s a way for counties to
work together to try to save some
money, such as purchasing,”
Shoemaker said. “That is the big
thing.”
Even combined purchasing
has issues to resolve.
“What is the expense going
to be to man that,” Shoemaker
asked. “Are we going to hire
someone to be in charge or are
we going to just reach a deal
with a company?”
The goal is to allow local
school boards to focus more on
student achievement. It would
likely create new money-saving,
job-sharing
arrangements
between county systems.
Tom Campbell, a state board
member who is the commission
chairman, suggested counties
could share attorneys, or
collaborate
on
financial,
personnel or transportation
issues “to help the districts focus
on student instruction and those
functions which can be handled
regionally in support of the
district.”
A 2012 audit of the state’s
education system found millions
of tax dollars being wasted
by inefficiency. In response,
the state board created the
governance commission in 2013
to identify functions distracting
local school boards from student
achievement.
While the board has no

intentions of eliminating the
state’s
current
55-county
structure, its members hope
the change will create a more
efficient and effective school
system.
As an offshoot of the transition,
in December the commission
will consider redrawing the
RESA map. The commission
meets Dec. 3 and could have a
new map to recommend to the
state board at its meeting a week
later.
Shoemaker said she’s in favor
of splitting the 8-county RESA
8, which includes Jefferson,
Berkeley and Morgan counties to
the east along with the Highlands
counties of Hampshire, Mineral,
Grant, Hardy and Pendleton.
“We’re so spread out it’s
almost impossible for us to share
a lot of things,” Shoemaker
noted.

Co-op next Saturday.
Friends of the Co-op are
calling it a square dance, with
some cheap grub and lessons
beforehand, to raise money to
add heat to the building at 56 S.
Marsham St.
“We didn’t get our grant so
we’re trying to earn enough
money to heat the back of the
co-op,” explains Patty Anderson
of Anderson’s Corner. “We
have ductwork, but we need a
furnace.”
The furnace that heats the front
of the co-op isn’t big enough
to handle the entire building,
which is being transformed
into an artists’ co-operative and
marketplace.
A pair of callers known
collectively as Step Jam will
introduce clogging and flatfoot
dancing at 4 p.m. Saturday,
followed by a full-blown square
dance at 6.
Admission is $5, or $8 for a
couple and tickets are on sale

BPO tree lighting at Taggart Nov. 25
review Staff
ROMNEy — The Romney BPO will sponsor
its annual festival of lights tree lighting ceremony
on Tuesday, Nov. 25, on the grounds outside
Taggart Hall beginning at 6 pm.
The lights are strewn through the trees in the
yard facing High Street, and this year 4 new
displays have been added to the festive spread.
“We took on this project many years ago and
this year we’ve added on several pieces. We spent
a day getting it ready and putting it up,” said Dot
Calvert, BPO President.
The new decorations are animated, meaning
the lights blink in a way that appears to make the
decorations move.
A snowman that tilts his hat, a large Merry
Christmas sign, Santa’s sleigh and reindeer and a
helicopter are the newest additions.
Light refreshments, including hot chocolate and
cookies, will be served inside the hall. ❏

New hope for WVSDB renovations
Prospects suddenly seem brighter for muchneeded renovations of the decaying campus at
the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the
Blind.
First, Delegate Ruth Rowan has wrangled a
visit to the state school by key legislators so
they can see firsthand the conditions in which
some of the state’s most fragile students live
and learn.
“I’m hoping they’re going to see the very best
and the very worst,” Rowan says of the Dec. 9
tour for members of the Legislative Oversight
Commission for Education Accountability.
Not much of significance makes its way
into laws or state budgets without LOCEA’s
backing, so the visit will be key if any funding
is to be given in 2015.
Second, newly elected state Sen. Charles
Trump made noises on Election Night that
echo promises he made early in his campaign
— comments that lend hope to the cause.
“I’ll see right away to make sure the West
Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind get the
funding they need for the capital improvement
projects,” he said as he acknowledged his
victory in the 15th District senate race.
In April he said much the same thing.
“There needs to be money specifically
allocated in the state budget for the
improvements that are necessary for the
school for the deaf and blind,” he said. “I’m
disappointed that didn’t happen this year.”
That’s exactly what’s needed. In the 2014
session, the Legislature tried to foist the
responsibility for improvements out of its $12
billion budget and onto the School Building
Authority’s $45 million annual bonding
authority for educational facilities in all 55
counties.
Granted, the state was trying to balance a
budget that ultimately had to draw out tens
of millions of dollars from its rainy day fund.

Dutch snapshots: 3 views
In all my “snapshots” sequences I usually select one
common theme regarding my
experiences in that country. In
Holland, however — the Netherlands — my experiences
were either so limited as to be
of no consequence or, though
planned, never came about at
all. Thus, these 3 views comprise the full extent of my relationship with Holland.
In July 1966, I finally realized a long-held ambition when
my family and I arrived in Germany for a planned 3-year assignment (planned is the operative word here; things happen).
One major ambition, when I
left the Marines and enlisted in
the Army, was an assignment
in Europe. But from 1960 until 1966, events got in the way
of aspirations: training 2 years
in East Africa, 2 years in college, a year of war in Southeast
Asia, another year in Russian
language school... but finally,
an assignment to northern Germany.
Once settled, Herself and I
got right down to planning full
exploitation of the continent.
We scheduled a trip the following spring (1967) to the Netherlands for the tulip festival. Second year we reckoned we’d do
Spain, and in year 3, Italy. But
in the spring of ’67, Herself was
bedridden with pneumonia. We
But the responsibility lies with the legislature,
which placed the institution here in the1870s,
commissioned it to serve the needs of all West
Virginia students with vision or hearing loss,
and then has neglected to plow any significant
funds into updating the campus for 4 decades
or so.
The newest building on campus, the
Instructional Resource Center, is technically
not even a branch of WVSDB, and it’s more
than 30 years old.
The schools need an overhaul to educate
deaf and blind students for the 21st Century.
The first step is a $20 million request for a
new residential component that turns students’
living experience into a 24/7 education.
That’s what legislators will see on Dec. 9,
thanks to Ruth Rowan’s tireless efforts. That’s
what Charles Trump is pledging to push in the
state senate.
That’s where our hope lies. o
later made it south to Garmisch
in the Bavarian Alps, but no tulips.
That summer I was commissioned a warrant officer, and,
as I had to undergo a command
change with the grade change,
I was fortunately assigned to
the Bavarian region. At Bad
Aibling, we altered our outyear plans, choosing Italy first
as closer, then a year later to
Spain. We made a racing visit to
Venice and Rome in early ’68,
and waited for Spain. But a 2nd
tour in Vietnam erased those
plans. Curtailed from my German tour, I returned to the war.
Ironically, following that year
in ’Nam, I was transferred to
duty in Rome, about which I’ve
written often. But we never did
get to the tulip festival, and later, when I got to Holland, it was
late summer and the fields lay
fallow. My first Holland view,
though assiduously planned,
never happened.
The succeeding view was,
thankfully, another event that
never materialized. In Germany in the late 1960s, at the
height of the Cold War with
the Soviet Union, Army security agency assignments in Europe played out along the contentious borders between West
Germany-East Germany, and
West Germany-Czechoslovakia. Strategic planning devolved

bits And pieces
around a common theme scenario in which Soviet troops
would strike into West Germany in a massive armored thrust
through the Fulda Gap, a central
European “alleyway” that cuts
through the mostly mountainous terrain, affording armor the
freedom to move effectively.
Intel activities and main force
preparations were all designed
to deny the Soviets this easy
route.
But in the strategic planning
for eventualities, someone has
to give thought to “what ifs” of
any and all scenarios. Even if
your military philosophy does
not embrace the notion of retreat — “a retrograde movement” as the weasel-worders
would have it — someone must
plan for such a dire eventuality. Thus it was that for those
relatively few of us scattered
about the landscape of northern
Germany without major NATO
forces for defense, the Op plan
for emergency (an attack from
the east) was simple: Get into

where evacuation presumably
would be arranged.
This “plan” did not address
massing armor and artillery
along a definitive line, calling
in close air support and awaiting British main forces (we
served in the British zone) to
bail us out. There was no armor or artillery in the north; the
Brits were likely engrossed in
a darts match; and the weather
was so continuously, devastatingly bad as to prevent launching aircraft. No, we were on
our own, our military evacuation to include wives, kids, pets
and whatever impedimenta we
could amass in our VW Beetle. It was not a satisfactory arrangement, sadly wanting in
moral or morale support.
But other events dictating circumstances, we never had to
implement that emergency procedure. All the driving about
toward and to the border of
the Netherlands was done in a
peaceable frame of mind.

critical bridges over rivers in 3
Dutch towns: Arnham, Eindhoven and Nijmegen. This was
to prevent the Germans from
destroying the bridges to deny
Allied access and clear routes
to the Ruhr, the industrialized
center of Germany — the Allied objective to end the war. A
parachute drop of the American
101st Airborne Division was
designed to take the bridges at
Eindhoven; farther north, the
British 1st Airborne Division
and the Polish Airborne Brigade
were to take Arnham; and the
American 82nd Airborne was
to secure Nijmegen crossings.
British XXX Corps would race
up Route 69 and relieve the airborne forces holding the bridges, et Voila! The Allies would
control the Rhine crossing.
Nijmegen, on that late summer day in 1984, was celebrating the 40th anniversary of that
seminal event, complete with
current-day members/units of
the 82nd Airborne. We 3 footloose yankees got drawn into

Eastern’s NewBiz
Launchpad to support
new business start-ups
Submitted by dAniEl silVEr
Think a business can’t start at a
community college? Think again. In
honor of Global Entrepreneurship Nov.
17-23, Eastern WV Community and
Technical College announced several
initiatives it is launching to help spur new
businesses, economic development and
entrepreneurship.
Last year, Eastern became part of an
elite group of colleges selected by the
Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and
the Association of American Community
Colleges to join the Slingshot Network, a
group of only 20 community colleges from
across the nation focusing on approaches
to entrepreneurship and workforce and
economic development. Members aim to
make community colleges “a front door”
to entrepreneurship in their respective
communities.
“Nowhere is there a better place to be a
self-starter or innovator than in the Potomac
Highlands region of West Virginia,” said
Joe Kapp Entrepreneur-in-Resident at
Eastern. “And there is no better partner for
self-starters and innovators than Eastern
WV Community and Technical College.”
Over the past 12 months, Eastern
has
received
competitive
grants
from a variety of funders to focus on
entrepreneurship and establish the Institute
for Rural Entrepreneurship and Economic
Development (IREED). The funders, both
public and private, including the Claude
Worthington Benedum Foundation, the
Coleman Foundation, the WV Community
and Technical College System and the
Kauffman Foundation, all recognize the
value of entrepreneurship in energizing the
rural economy.
The grants will support 3 primary
IREED projects that include contracting
an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Eastern;
establishing a business accelerator in
Wardensville; and commissioning an indepth study of the Potomac Highlands
economy to identify ongoing, upcoming
and future areas for strong economic
growth.
As Entrepreneur-in-Residence, Kapp
will work to kick-start entrepreneurship
across the region and inject creative
thinking to otherwise traditional economic
development models. In addition, he
will collaborate with existing area
businesses,
teach
entrepreneurship,
identify opportunities for new business
development and help businesses get off
the ground.
Eastern is also testing a NewBiz
Launchpad accelerator in Wardensville.

“There is substantial risk

and the Potomac Center in this

Vandevander tells as much in
a sworn affidavit.
“I discussed my role and
participation regarding the facts
surrounding the allegations of
abuse and neglect … as well as
my personal feelings,” she says,
regarding what she told Frazer.
Robert Lorea, another attorney
for the claimant, said that his
office is taking the defense’s
motion “very seriously.”
“We don’t want somebody
saying we’re unethical at all,”
Lorea said. “We don’t think
this is what the rule is. But the
judge is proceeding carefully, it
seems, just as is everyone else
The building includes a retail floor facing
Wardensville’s Main Street. Adaptable to
many different kinds of businesses, the
accelerator also provides mentoring and
co-working areas for 8-12 start-ups and
meeting and conference room spaces for
training, lectures and other purposes.
“Wardensville is a primary gateway to
the Potomac Highlands from Washington,
D.C., and other major markets,” said
Barbara Ratcliff, mayor of Wardensville.
“We have a unique opportunity to utilize
this gateway to drive further new business
and economic development.
“We have so much to offer, from
convenience to major markets, access to
high-speed Internet and beautiful scenery.
It is a great place to start a business,” she
said.
As the driving force behind IREED,
Eastern will also sponsor an in-depth
Potomac Highlands economic analysis to
provide insights into areas that are ripe for
greater economic growth. The college has
identified Economic Modeling Specialist
Incorporated as a proven research firm
in the area of labor market and economic
analysis.
“EMSI will collect and process data to
illuminate many aspects of employment and
human resources,” said Eastern president
Chuck Terrell, “and identify the primary
factors driving eastern West Virginia’s
economy.” As it examines employment and
population growth trends and commuting
patterns and analyzes the workforce across
a variety of factors, the planned research
will highlight the most important industries
for the regions’ economic vitality.
“The study will also investigate the
qualities and features that make our region
unique,” Terrell emphasized, “and identify
additional industries and investors who
would find our geography and workforce
uniquely attractive for start-up, expansion
or relocation.”
“Because of Corridor H, and the
Fiber Optic ring developed by Hardy
Telecommunications, and our closeness
to D.C., northern Virginia and western
Maryland,” he pointed out, “the Potomac
Highlands is in a sweet spot to recruit and
support small business development.”

Division
of Forestry
gives tips for
preventing
fires
Submitted by nAnCY hArmAn
The West Virginia Division of
Forestry for Hampshire, Hardy and
Mineral counties has been experiencing
an increase in wildfires due to stove
ashes and leaf burning. These fires can
easily be prevented.
For stove ashes, put them in an airtight
metal container like a small galvanized
trash can with a lid. Make sure they
are completely cold before dumping
them out. Do not dump stove ashes into
areas with leaves or brush. The cost of
investing in an airtight container for
your stove ashes far outweighs the costs
of an escaped wildfire. your home and
property could be threatened as well
as those of your neighbors. The costs
associated with violating West Virginia’s
fire laws and citations have increased
substantially in recent years.
When burning leaves, make sure
you have at least a 10-foot safety strip
cleared to bare mineral soil around
the pile to be burned. Never burn on a
windy day. Leaves are very light, and
the slightest amount of wind can send a
burning leaf out of the pile and start a
wildfire before you know it. Stay with
the burning pile at all times, and make
sure you have a hose handy just in case.
If you don’t have to burn, don’t.
During hunting season all hunters are
urged to be safe out in the woods. A spark
from an ATV can start a wildfire with
all the leaves on the ground now. Make
sure any warming fires or campfires are
completely out before leaving them. And
to everyone, make sure your cigarette
butts are out completely when near dry
leaves or in the forest.
The Division of Forestry appreciate
everyone’s efforts to prevent wildfires.
This is just a reminder to be extra careful
this time of year.
The state’s fall forest fire season
started Oct. 1 and runs through Dec. 31.
During these 3 months, daytime burning
is prohibited from the hours of 7 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Outdoor burning is permitted
only between the hours of 5 p.m. and 7
a.m.

Virginia’s fire seasons and laws, check

adding with a laugh. “Plus, it
sounds awesome anyway.”
At the end of the 20-year
career he expects to have, the
UCT experience will be a great
gateway into the private sector,
he says.
After all, in addition to the
electrical work he trained for on
dry land, UCT school phased
into all areas of construction
— welding, pouring concrete
underwater and, for these last
few weeks, demolition and
explosives.
“They train me here to do
anything,” he says of a program
that began tough physically,
then turned into more of a

whether we got the plate or not.
It’s just right there. If somebody

involved.”
“We don’t think it’s unethical
and we don’t consider it a
conflict of interest,” Lorea
stressed.
No official ruling was
made during the last week’s
proceedings.
This is not the first time the
defense of the Potomac Center
has filed for a motion that
amounts to a stay in the civil
suit.
This summer, the defense
had filed a motion to stay the
trial until the end of a pending
criminal investigation.
The
defense’s
concern,
Mincer explained then, was that
witnesses of the alleged abuse
at the Potomac Center could be
incriminated by testifying in the
civil suit.
By virtue of witnessing these
crimes, those potentially called
to the stand could be criminally
charged, he said. For that, those
parties should be afforded legal
counsel, Mincer said, as well
as the right to plead the 5th
Amendment, which protects
people from self-incrimination.
In late August, Judge Charles
Parsons told both defense and
claimant counsels that some
resolution should be found
within 18 months of initial filing
in the case.
At the heart of the classaction civil suit are allegations
of cruelty and negligence that
led to the removal of 24 students
from the Potomac Center in
January.
The plaintiff of the case,
identified as T.D., is suing the
Potomac Center, on behalf
of his or her 17-year-old
developmentally disabled child,
identified as R.M.
The complaint combines the
cases of R.M.’s documented
abuse into a class-action lawsuit,
recognizing
those
alleged
instances of abuse as indicative
of problems across the center’s
intensive care program.
Mincer is representing the 3
parties in defense: The Potomac
Center as an institution, as
well as the center’s COO Kim
Helmstetter and CEO Rick
Harshbarger.
The
plaintiff’s
counsel
currently consists of Keaton
and 3 lawyers from Charlestonbased Bailey and Glasser —
Lorea, Jonathan Marshall and
Isaac Foreman. All are subject
to the motion to disqualify.
As long as the most recent
motion to disqualify is pending,
the case remains stayed. o

from Page 1A
On
Monday
afternoon,
waiters and waitresses-to-be
hustled through the gleaming
restaurant, readying themselves
for what will likely prove to be
a busy season ahead. The booths
and tables have been placed.
The grills are set and clean. The
Christmas decorations were up.
There’s not much else to do, the
Stotlers said, other than to train
the staff.
The new restaurant —
cleverly built to look like 4
small-town buildings, harkening
back to the family-friendly days
of yesteryear — is more than
twice the size of the Grill’s
Slanesville location, which
they’re currently calling the
Main Street Diner, Jodi said.
Now, they’re taking full
advantage of all the new
breathing room with a large,

would be common areas as well,
Leighton said. Those would include a lounge, a playground
and laundry facilities, as well
as off-street parking. There is a
real emphasis on natural space,
too, he said. At least 30 percent
of the grounds would be considered “green.”
In all, what Leighton envisions
is a project that would hold 80 to
100 people, though in order for
a applicant to be accepted as a
resident, they would have to
meet income requirements, pass
a background check and a credit
check, too.
Income would have to fall
between, locally, about $19,000
and $44,000 in order to qualify.
Anticipated rents would be
based on AMHI, or Adjusted
Median Household Income.
For 50 percent AMHI:
• a 1-bedroom townhouse
would cost $474 per month;
• a 2-bedroom townhouse
would cost $531 per month;
• a 3-bedroom townhouse
would cost $615 per month.
In all these cases, the tenant
will be expected to pay their gas
and electric bills.
Leighton said that the project
would bring from 10 to 30
temporary jobs to the county
during the construction phase
and 2 full-time jobs after — that
of a maintenance manager and a
property manager.
He estimated $20,000 in
property taxes each year, as
well.
The
purpose
of
the
presentation, however, was two-
5A
separate banquet room, which
features full-service in-house
catering. The room itself seats
about 50 people, has a gas
fireplace and a video setup that’s
even PowerPoint ready.
The Stotlers said they could
envision the space serving as
a perfect place to hold a baby
shower or a business conference,
for instance.
As part of the new digs, the
Main Street Grill will also be
launching an online ordering
system, too. Oh, and this new
building comes with its very
own side entrance for pickup,
too.
The hours of operation for the
Grill will be Sunday through
Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and
Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.
until 10 p.m.

fold: Leighton not only wanted
to convince commissioners that
his project was a sound one, but
to receive an assurance from the
county that he had their support.
These assurances were crucial
to the application process for
housing tax credits, Leighton
said. Anywhere from 80 to
90 percent of funding for the
project comes from these stateissued tax credits, and the
process to get those is “highly
competitive,” he said,
In order to get a leg up on
competition around the state —
about 35 applications vie for 10
approvals each year, Leighton
estimated — the project
needs to have written proof of
“unqualified support” of local
government.
“Without
the
local
government’s
say-so,
it’s
virtually impossible to get these
tax credits,” he said.
Though the name and location
of the project has yet to be
decided, at several junctures in
the conversation, commissioners
noted the former Hampshire
Memorial Hospital building in
Romney as a potential site.
“Nothing is cast in concrete,”
said Leighton, adding that if
the location of the building is
to be determined as that site, he
said he’d need the support of
Romney Mayor Dan Hileman,
as well.
After the presentation, the
commission
unanimously
agreed to write a letter in support
Leighton’s project.
Leighton’s West Virginia
Community Builders LLC has
been responsible for 2 similar
projects in the Mountain State
already, one in Gilmer County
and another in Upshur. o

Freda Tomblin, governor’s mother, dies at 80
The Associated Press

Around
CHARLESTON
—
t h e s tat e
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s
mother, Freda Mae Tomb2
lin, has died. She was 80.
The governor said Sunday
in a news release that his
mother died Saturday
3
surrounded by family and
friends.
She was a resident of
Chapmanville.
The governor says his
mother taught him the
importance of education,
hard work and caring for
others.

CHARLESTON — Famimanville is in charge of arrangelies of West Virginia-based

H
organ donors were recognized
this weekend during a memorial
ceremony in Charleston.
The Center for Organ Recover
and Education held its 3rd annual A Special Place ceremony
on Sunday at the Clay Center for
the Arts and Sciences.
Speakers included a heart transplant recipient and a physician
whose grandson was an organ
donor.
The Pittsburgh-based center
It will be the first time in
the history of the current state
capitol building in Charleston,
dedicated in 1932, that members
of the Republican Party will
sit in the majority offices.
And Delegate Tim Armstead,
R-Kanawha, is in line to be the
speaker of the 100-member
House of Delegates.
Across the hall in the
34-member state Senate, Sen.
Bill Cole, R-Mercer, is expected
to become the first Republican
in several decades to hold
the office of president of the
Senate. Admittedly, after the
results of the Nov. 4 statewide
general election were reported,
the membership in the Senate
appeared to be a tie with 17
Democrats and 17 Republicans.
But then Sen. Daniel Hall,
D-Wyoming, decided to
switch his political party to the
Republican side in the Senate,
which gave the GOP an 18-16
edge and a chance to elect the
Senate president. Even though
current Senate minority leader
is Sen. Mike Hall, R-Putnam, it
is expected that Sen. Cole will
emerge as the first GOP Senate
president since the days of the
great depression.
Delegate Armstead is
convinced Republicans can
move the state forward now that
they have gained control in both
the House of Delegates and
state Senate. It will be the first
time in the history of the current
Capitol building — dedicated in
1932 — that Republicans will
sit in the majority offices.
Armstead is well aware that
he and his Senate counterpart —
presumably Sen. Cole — will
need to work with Democrat
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.
Armstead also has indicated he
plans to have open discussions
with member of both parties —
a practice that he explained was
not always the case when the
Republicans were the minority
party.
The official designations
of the new leaders in both
the House of Delegates and
the state Senate won’t be
declared until the 2015 regular
session convenes at noon on
Wednesday, Jan. 14.
But Armstead and other GOP
leaders in both chambers are
already considering revisions
to the state’s antiquated tax
structure. He said it has to be
changed to foster economic
growth in West Virginia.
The state’s current education
system suffers from bloated
bureaucracy, according to
Armstead. He points to the
fact that while West Virginia
ranks near the top in per capita
education spending while at
the same time raking near the
bottom in K-12 achievement.
And he is adamant about
Tom
Miller
under the dome
avoiding tax increases.
“I don’t think West Virginians
can handle additional taxes,”
he told a Charleston newspaper
reporter.
***
Meanwhile, the shift in the
state Senate from Democrat
to Republican leadership as
a result of the recent general
election results has caused
an initiative to revitalize the
struggling southern coal fields
in West Virginia to be put
on hold, Sen. Mike Green,
D-Raleigh, said last week.
The fate of the Southern
Coalfields Organizing and
Revitalizing the Economy
initiative, or SCORE, is now
up to Senate Republicans.
Three Senate Democrats on the
13-member SCORE pan lost,
including Green; Sen. Truman
Chafin, D-Mingo and Sen. Greg
Tucker, D-Nicholas.
The SCORE group has a
broad initial plan to improve
conditions in the state’s
southern counties, including
increased tourism advertising,
education and workforce
development and retraining.
Sen. Bill Cole, R-Mercer,
is considered one of the
likely candidates for the
job of Senate president. He
represents southern coalproducing counties and both
he and Delegate Armstead, the
anticipated new speaker of the
House of Delegates, realize they
will need to work with Gov.
Earl Ray Tomblin, a Democrat,
during the next 2 years.
***
Finally, construction of the
Korean War Veterans Memorial
in Marion County is about one
third completed, but work has
been halted until more money
can be raised to complete the
project. C. Rick Hardman,
designer for the memorial, has
been involved with the project
since 2007.
Initially, the memorial was
to be constructed on donated
property near Prickett’s Fort,
but there were obstacles,
including a water line that
ran through the middle of the
property. So a 2nd site was
recommended at the edge of
East Marion County Park along
Interstate 79 and Hardman
said he altered his design “to
accommodate the new site.”
The park includes a wave pool
and picnic pavilion with the
new memorial located on the
edge near the I-79 bridge that
is part of the gateway into
Fairmont. q

a wonderful sense of humor and loved to pull the hair on men’s
legs when she volunteered at the navy hospital. She loved visiting

served anywhere that she was asked to serve. She loved to interact

W.Va. doctor on Ebola battlefront
jim King review Staff
A West Virginia doctor with ties to
Romney has joined the fight against the
deadly Ebola virus on its home turf in
West Africa.
“Dorms are OK. Cold water, lots of
bugs and very hot,” Dr. Rebecca Reece
emailed to friends and family upon her
arrival in Liberia last weekend.
She is the granddaughter of the Rev.
Richard Reece of Romney. Rebecca
and her twin sister, Jo, grew up in the
Wyoming County community of Mullens
and graduated from WVU’s medical
school together in 2008.
Jo Reece is on the faculty at WVU now
while Becky has been doing research
at Brown University Medical Center.
Becky’s schedule as a researcher gave
her the flexibility to volunteer, which
included 4 days of training in Alabama.
“She would travel to Ghana a couple of
times over the past couple of years,” Rev.
Reece said. Her sister also spent a year in
Liberia.
Becky Reece flew out of Dulles Airport
Thursday afternoon to spend 6 weeks
working in an Ebola Treatment Unit
(ETU) in Liberia, returning stateside on
Christmas Eve. Upon her return, she will
spend 21 days in self-quarantine at her
Providence, R.I., apartment, her father,
Steve, said in an email to his family.
While she’s in Liberia, where the
average high is around 88 degrees at
this time of year, she’ll spend 90-minute
stretches in full-body personal protective
equipment, caring for the ill and dying.
Her weekend message outlined some
of the dire conditions there — an ETU
so full that the morgue may have to be
changed into another ward, 12-hour shifts
averaging 1 day a week.
The plus sides are relative. Another
ETU 2 hours away opens at the end of this
week, hopefully alleviating the numbers
where she is, and she has a fan in her room
and a shower albeit with cold water only.
Richard Reece only learned of his
granddaughter’s trip 30 minutes before
she flew out of Dulles on a flight to
Brussels, Belgium.
“So close, yet so far,” he said. Becky
and her dad had kept the trip quiet,
Steve Reece said, in case circumstances
prevented the trip.

review Staff
SUNRISE SUMMIT —
Staff and leaders at Hampshire
Memorial Hospital met with
representatives of the Center
for Organ Recovery and
Education last week to hand
over a rose.
No, this wasn’t a businessto-business courtship. It was
part of a celebration of life.
Across the region, hospitals
are dedicating roses by placing
them in a vial that carries a
unique, personal message of
hope and remembrance to
honor organ donors, recipients
and those touched by organ,
tissue and cornea donation.
These roses create a
dedication garden that is a
featured design element on
the Donate Life float in one
of the country’s most notably
televised parades — the Rose
Parade, which is set to take
place this Jan. 1 in Pasadena,
Calif.
This is the 12th year the
Donate Life float will appear in
the Rose Parade and this year’s
theme is “The Never-Ending
Story,” featuring butterflies
emerging from storybooks to
symbolize the enduring power
of organ, tissue and cornea
donation and transplantation.
The Center for Organ

which sponsors the float, is one

SUNRISE SUMMIT — It’s never too early to

So, the Bank of Romney has introduced an
initiative to bring financial literacy to students
at Hampshire High School through some pretty
snappy new technology.
A web-based program, called “EverFi Financial
Literacy,” uses simulations, avatars and gaming
to bring complex financial concepts to life for
today’s most digital of generations.
Through this platform, students will become
certified in hundreds of topics in personal
finance, allowing them to become more informed,
responsible citizens.
The 10-unit course offers about 6 hours of
programming aimed at teaching, assessing and
certifying students in a variety of relevant financial
topics.
Last week, about 20 students in DiAnna Liller’s
class were clicking around, learning things about
their all-important credit score, insurance, credit
cards, student loans, mortgages, taxes, stocks,
savings, 401(k)s and other critical concepts that
map to national financial literacy standards.
The EverFi platform tracks the progress and
score of every student and provides students
who successfully complete the course with
Certification in Financial Literacy, a valuable
mark of distinction on college applications and
resumes, Liller said.
Even better? The Bank of Romney has partnered
with EverFi to bring the program to the students at
no cost to the schools.
“The Bank of Romney is committed to providing
our young people with the knowledge and skills
needed to make educated decisions about their
financial futures. We are excited to offer students
an innovative educational experience that uses
the tools they love — digital learning and gaming
— to teach this important topic,” said Lawrence
Foley, president and CEO of The Bank of Romney.
“From the small rural towns to major cities
across the U.S., EverFi technology is literally
transforming how students learn, and we
are incredibly grateful for the public-private
partnerships that make this possible,” said EverFi
CEO Tom Davidson. “The Bank of Romney is
critical to the success of our mission to ensure that
these cutting-edge tools reach all communities.”

Hampshire County No. 4 in
business growth so far in 2014
niCK gAudio review Staff
ROMNEy — This year has
been a particularly great one
for the business climate in
Hampshire County, at least in
comparison to most elsewhere
throughout the state.
Currently ranked number
4 out of West Virginia’s 55
counties,
Hampshire
has
enjoyed 10.85 percent business
growth since Jan. 1 — from
710 to 787 businesses thus
far, according to the Business
Industry Growth Map, a tool
provided by Secretary of State
Natalie Tennant’s office.
The top 3 counties —
Webster at 1, Pendleton at No.
2 and Mason at No. 3 — have
fewer total businesses, so their
percent of business growth is
more dramatically affected by
any new business than is ours.
In fact, Hampshire is
currently holds the top spot
— that’s right, No. 1 — for
West Virginia counties that
started 2014 with 500 or more
businesses, according to the
BIG map.
The
towns
and
unincorporated
areas
in
Hampshire County that have
seen the most business in 2014,
include:
• Romney — 24
• Augusta — 19
• Points — 7
• Springfield — 5
• High View — 5
Since the beginning of the
year, Hampshire has gained 96
new businesses and lost 19, the
data shows.
Neighboring counties aren’t
doing nearly as well. Ranked
50, Morgan County has grown
5.89 percent; at 47, Mineral
has had 6.29 percent growth;
and Hardy registered 6.87
percent growth at the 36th spot
statewide.
The counties with the most
total businesses remain no
real surprise: Charleston’s
Kanawha County logs in
8,896
businesses;
West
Virginia University’s county,
Monongalia,
has
5,302
businesses; and Huntington’s

mong the menagerie of
barnyard life at H&K
Farms off Ford Hill Road
in Augusta, a somewhat
odd, imposing looking fellow keeps watch.
He’s noisy, stubborn and beautiful. He’s a Royal Palm turkey, and
he’s certainly making the most of
what could be his last few days.
April Bane and her husband,
Carl, are currently the proud owners of 5 turkeys, the dominant
Royal Palm, another male – a Red
Bourbon – and 3 Broad Breasted
Bronzes, the hens of the group.
H&K sits on land that has been
in Carl’s family going back many
years. Hogs, cattle and chickens
also call the farm home.
The story of how the farm added turkeys for the 1st time isn’t
anything extraordinary. It was just
an addition the couple wanted to
make.
A close relative of April’s raises
turkeys and after a recent visit she
and Carl decided they wanted in
on the fun.
So, on April 3, her birthday
as a matter of fact, she got the 3
Bronzes. They are the tamest turkeys of the group, and that’s typical of hens.
The Bronzes are also the closest
to the type of turkeys that live in
the wild across Hampshire County and beyond.
The Palm and the Bourbon
came shortly thereafter, and
though the 2 males coexist with
each other and the 3 females very
well, it’s clear that the big white
Palm is in charge.
“It’s gone really well,” April
said of the few months the turkeys have been around. “They are
beautiful birds. We love them. Everyone who comes here compliments us on how beautiful they
are.”
The flock has been a joyful addition to the farm.
“The human interaction with
them has been phenomenal,”
April said. “We didn’t think that
they would be this tame. We are
very happy that our grandkids
can pet them and that anyone
who comes around is accepted by
them.”
Though the turkeys have quickly become a
part of

family – so to speak – like every
other animal on the farm they are
there for one purpose more than
anything else.
With Thanksgiving about a
week away, that’s why the Royal
Palm’s days are likely numbered.
“Everything we have here is stuff
that we raise to eat and breed. He
is no different,” April said.
Why him and not the Red Bourbon?
“Mainly because of his dominance,” April said. He’s more ag-
gressive than the others and we
wouldn’t mind taking that dominance out of the herd.”
Why him and not one of the
hens?
“They are layers and they have
already begun laying eggs,” she
said. “Normally they don’t until
they are a year old.”
She has plans to hatch a few
in the spring to sell, and people are already lining up
for the chicks, which will
be a crossbreed between
the Bronzes and the Red
Bourbon.
“We have everything
to incubate them,” April
said. “I’m anxious to see
what the chicks will look
like.”
With the big day fast approaching, decision time
looms for April and Carl.
Though there’s a possibility they will keep him
around, “Chances are we’ll
be using him,” April said.
If and when the Palm is gone,
the Red Bourbon will be king of
the roost and it will stay that way
for a while. “Until something
would happen to these we won’t
get any more right now,” April
said.
The experience from start to inevitable finish is one much like
many others on the farm, just a little bit different than usual.
“The entire thing has been
great,” April said. “They’ve been
very easy to raise.”
Though it appears as though the
end is near for the Royal Palm,
it’s not something April will give
much extra thought to.
“I’m not attached to them the
way I am my cattle and hogs,” she
admitted.
If indeed he’s dispatched, the
Palm will continue his role as
the dominant focal point, but this
time he will be in command of the
Thanksgiving table, not the barnyard.
It’s a suitable ending for such
an impressive bird. o

Sentimental
belongings
My co-workers and I
were talking last week about
things we have kept from
years ago that are still useful. My one co-worker and
I were singing the praises of
metal Maybelline eyelash
curlers from the 1980s.
My sister gave me the eyelash curler I still use today,
and my daughter and I fight
over it. She took it to her
friend’s house last week for
a sleepover, and I threatened
her that she better not lose
it…or else. I have probably
purchased close to a dozen
other curlers, but none com-

pare to my vintage one.
Then, there is the old hairbrush that I still use from my
junior high days. Again, I
have tried to replace it with
other brushes, but have never been able to find one that
works as well as my purple,
Cricket brush that has definitely seen better days.
I also have sentimental
items that have been given to
me from family members.
They don’t have much monetary value, but they hold
special meaning for me.
My great-grandmother gave me a little ceramic chick that is pink and
yellow. I would go visit
her with my grandfather
(her son) when I was really young, and she would
always call me “the little
one.” Maybe she could tell
that we had a special connection. She had twins, and
about 60 years later, I also
had twins.
When my husband’s maternal grandmother passed
away, I received a vase that
had belonged to her. It looks
like a pin-up girl from the
1950s complete with fake
eyelashes and a little pearl
necklace. Everyone else
thought it was goofy, but I
cherish it because she liked
the vase, and it reminds me
of her.
My mother-in-law gave
my husband a special mustache cup and saucer set. She
always told him it would be
his. The cups were popular at
one time and have a guard on
the inside to keep your mustache dry.
From my maternal grandmother, I have vintage mixing bowls that were passed
down to me from my mother.
When I use them, I always
think of her and the great
food that she prepared and
served in them. They are yellow with black flowers on
them — not the prettiest but
special to me.
I also have a little dancing
flower in my kitchen window. It was a gift from my
mom’s friend, and for weeks
after she gave it to me, I
would look at it, and it would
make me smile. She passed
away last year, and it still reminds me of her sunny personality.
Of course, then there are
the special mementos that
my children have made for
me over the years. To anyone
else they are worthless, but I
love to look back at them and
see how they used to draw
and write.
Sentimental items rarely
hold worldly value but to the
owner they are priceless. q

BACK in time
100 1914
years ago
On Sunday night, Nov. 8, a
robber entered E.G. Emmett’s
store at Hanging Rock, and
took postal and private funds to
the amount of $25 or $30, and
some shoes. He was tracked
to Pleasant Dale, where he
repeated the operation by
breaking into the office of E.D.
Combs, securing some six or
eight dollars. It is thought he
reached Romney in time for the
morning train. A stranger came
in the vicinity of Hanging Rock
Sunday afternoon and secreted
himself in a stock barn at Mr.
Rogers’. Later in the evening
he was seen, and it is supposed
that this was the thief. He must
have been a professional robber,
as he was equipped with keys
and took great precautions as to
tracking.

The gift that gives double
This time of year tends to be
stressful for me, as I need to
prepare for Thanksgiving, deer
season and Christmas. It just
seems to come at me all at once.
I really enjoy Thanksgiving and
all that it means. I also enjoy
getting ready for deer season
— not that I’m a great hunter,
but I do have fun going to the
hunting camp and taking in the
great fellowship. And of course,
the Christmas season is a special
time, as well.
While I’m preparing food
and packing up for the hunting
camp, I’m also shopping for
the Thanksgiving dinner so as
to avoid last minute crowds.
At the same time, I also want
to take advantage of the preChristmas sales, which seem
to be getting earlier and earlier
each year (thank heavens for
online shopping). While doing
all this, I also need to be getting
my Christmas cards ready,
which is a tradition that means
a lot to me, probably because I
have so many friends and family
members that I only hear from
once a year.
With all this said, I would
like to take a deep breath and
take another look at my plight.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist
to figure out that all of these
stressors are very minor and
very solvable when taken a step
at a time, doing the important
things and eliminating the things
that really don’t need to be done.
I just need to be reminded of this
every year.
All of this dialogue is meant
to lead up to the most important
part of this holiday season and
that is the importance of giving
to others — not just financially,
but with time, emotions and
prayers. The beautiful thing
about helping others is that it
also makes us feel good. Giving
is the gift you give to others
while getting one yourself.
Be safe this deer season, count
your blessings this Thanksgiving
and take in the holiday spirit that
is all around us.

Milestones
Simply Savory Holiday Traditions
engagement
Cole – Davis
Family Features — The
time has come to begin planning your holiday celebrations filled with tasty food and happy
guests.
To ensure a savory and stressfree holiday, Jimmy Dean Chef
Jill Houk shares her favorite goto recipes and tips:
* To feel confident in the kitchen, fill most of your holiday feast with recipes you’ve
made before and then add one
or two new dishes to the mix.
* Whether you’re preparing
a traditional side dish or a
hearty appetizer, you can
make your holiday staples
extra special by incorporating flavorful ingredients,
such as high quality Jimmy
Dean sausage. Known for its
great taste and quality, Jimmy
Dean sausage comes in varieties that feature seasonal
flavors such as sage, so traditional dishes like stuffing are
as flavorful as ever.
* Roasts, hams and turkeys
need time to rest after they
come out of the oven and before you slice and serve them
- anywhere from 45 minutes
to 1 1/2 hours. Use this time
to cook quick items like vegetables, stuffing and dinner
rolls.
* Have a great mix of colors
in your holiday dishes. Top
green veggies with bright
slices of citrus, add cranberries to your salad and serve
your main dish on a brightlycolored platter.
Fill your holidays with flavor
by trying one of these crowdpleasing recipes or visit www.

Spaghetti dinner Saturday to benefit Jennifer Crane
Writer enjoys
visitors from
Maryland
Iris Dale
Kline
304-496-7878
The purpose and mission
of county Community
Educational Outreach Service
is to strengthen the family
and influence our community
through leadership service
and education. The pillars
support is a firm foundation by
the West Virginia University
Cooperative Extension Service
to all persons without regard
to race, color, sex, disability,
religion, age, sexual orientation
or national origin. I feel we
need to see the difference
of this organization and the
women’s club of Romney. They
have their organization and
purpose and this has been very
confusing at times to some.
Both organizations do a lot of
good for the community, so
wish them well.
On Friday, Eileen Sowers
and Iris Kline took a box of
gifts from the Central Dunmore
CEOS Club to the Hampshire
Memorial Nursing Home for
gifts and their annual auction
for the patients and went to
the courthouse to help with the
decorating and display of the
veterans’ tree for the month
of November. The tree is
decorated with photographs of
veterans from our area. There
is a case containing medals and
ribbons of the late Glen Davey
that hangs on the wall in the
courthouse. Davey was killed
in 1967 by an enemy mine near
Saigon while on patrol. Davey
saved his platoon of 17 men —
a very touching story.
Some of the family of
the late Loring Brock from
Westminster, Md., Carroll
County, Md., came for a visit
to Iris Kline’s home and to visit
with Bradley Kline and Kitty
Lee. They were Rodger and
Sandra Pickett, their son Chris
and his wife. We had lunch at
4B’s Pizza and Subs and did
some shopping, then visited the
Mount Zion Cemetery where
relatives are buried. We came
back Ford Hill Road to Tearcoat
and old Victory Hill where
the Victory One-room School
stood a few years ago. I believe
the late Edna Frye Timbrook
was the last teacher there. The
visitors enjoyed the scenery.
Come back again soon. There
are more drives in the area to
enjoy. q

Hunters pancake supper Nov. 23
This reminds me of the “10
Commandments of How to Get
Along with People,” which has
been attributed to Ann Landers:
1. Keep skid chains on your
tongue. Always say less than
you think.
2. Make promises sparingly
and keep them faithfully, no
matter what the cost.
3. Never let an opportunity
pass to say a kind and
encouraging word to someone.
4. Be interested in others —
their pursuits, their work, their
homes and families.
5. Don’t burden others by
dwelling on your minor aches
and pains.
6. Keep an open mind.
Discuss, but don’t argue.
7. Let your virtues, if you
have any, speak for themselves.
8. Be careful of other’s
feelings.
9. Pay no attention to
disparaging remarks.
10. Don’t be too eager to get
the credit due you. Do your best
and be patient.
The Bean Settlement Church
of the Brethren (Rock Oak)
women’s group will have their
annual hunter’s pancake supper
Nov. 23, from 5-7 p.m. at the
church fellowship hall. There
will be lots of great food. Come
out and support our ladies’
fellowship group. Everyone is
welcome.
Donna Charlton and Nina
Mason spent Monday afternoon
in Cumberland, Md., for an
appointment.
Nina and Larry Mason
visited Nina’s cousin, Barbara
(Doman) Luckett in Strasburg
and enjoyed dinner with a lot of
relatives.
The Veterans Day dinner at
the Kirby American Legion and
Unit 134 Sunday afternoon,
Nov. 9, was well attended.
Nina
Mason

Robbie Robinson and group
gave a very interesting program
on veterans.
The Augusta Elementary
School had their annual
Veterans Day program Monday,
Nov. 10, at 1 p.m. at the school.
Approximately 30 veterans
attended. This is the 11th year
they have been doing this for
veterans. Delicious cookies
and more were served after the
program.
Larry Mason had back
surgery on Thursday, Nov. 13,
at Winchester Medical Center.
He is home and doing very
well. Hope this time it helps the
back.
A happy birthday wish to
everyone celebrating November
birthdays.
Sorry we missed the
visitation for Gary Loy Sunday,
Nov. 9, but our deepest
sympathy, thoughts and prayers
go to his wife, Betty, and
daughter, Beth.
Get well wishes to all who
are sick. Glad Ruth Loar is
home and doing well.
The Kirby Assembly of God
Church will be having their
Christmas program Sunday,
Dec. 7, at 6 p.m. All are invited
to attend.
Until next time, everyone
stay warm. Old man winter is
going to be here for a while.
A blessed Thanksgiving to
everyone — so much to be
thankful for. Attend church
somewhere and always wear a
smile. May God bless all. q

On Sunday, Nov. 9, the
Capon Bridge Methodist
Charge presented a dinner
theatre comedy entitled
“The Wild West Adventures
of Nehi Jones” at the Capon
Bridge Ruritan community
center. Two performances
were given, one at 11:30 a.m.
and again at 4 p.m. Members
of Central and Capon Bridge
performed the starring roles,
while North River Mills and
Capon Chapel contributed food
and assistance. We had a great
time and also raised funds for
Jane Arnold’s mission trip to
Africa. I particularly enjoyed
Ron Bowyer and his grandson
Jayden’s performance of
“Ghost Riders in the Sky.”
I want to remind everyone
to come out and support 2
upcoming events. A spaghetti
supper will be held on
Saturday, Nov. 22, at the
Gore Fire Hall at 4 p.m. The
combined forces of Fairview
Lutheran Church and the Gore
4-H Club are sponsoring the
dinner. Come out and enjoy
the dinner while supporting a
good cause for Jennifer Crane’s
medical expenses.
Rain Crow will hold their
2nd annual musical benefit for
the food pantry Friday, Dec.
12, from 6-9:30 p.m. Snow
date will be Saturday, Dec. 13.
Featured performers will be
Buck Mountain String Band,
old time music; Harvest Hill
Bluegrass, bluegrass; Kara
and the Wayfarers, country;
and Rain Crow, vintage rock
and roll. There will be special
appearances by the Knights
of Olde Hampshire, the big
man in the red suit and Bryan
Lafollette on the bagpipes. An
auction will be held, and
everything is donated with all
proceeds going to the Capon
Bridge Food Pantry. Donations
are very welcome. Checks may
be made out to Amazing Grace
Baptist Church Food Pantry
and mailed to Steve Bailes, HC
71, Box 103-C, Capon Bridge,
WV 26711. Sympathy is extended
to the family and friends
of Paula Nesmith. Paula’s
passing leaves a big hole in
the community, church and the
lives of many, especially her
fiance, Robert Smith. We shall
miss her quiet support and
gentle presence.
Shiloh United Methodist
Church regretfully cancelled
their radio show this year. With the Advent season just
around the corner, we should
not forget Thanksgiving. We
have so much to be thankful
for, especially our American
veterans who sacrifice so much
Brenda

for this great country of ours
where we can gather in peace
to enjoy God, family and
freedom.
The Capon Bridge United
Methodist Church will be
presenting a live nativity scene
at 7 p.m. on Dec. 5. The Capon
Bridge tree lighting will be
held at 6 p.m.
I want to thank concerned
friends and family who came
to my rescue during a traffic
accident last Monday. I was
not injured, but my car was
totaled. I was overwhelmed
by all the caring and concern
coming my way. Thank you so
much. q

Christmas tree
lighting Dec. 5
This coming weekend
brings opportunities to shop
for holiday gifts here in town.
The Capon Bridge Volunteer
Fire Department is sponsoring
its 25th annual old time
Christmas bazaar Friday and
Saturday, Nov. 21-22, from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. at the firehouse.
Saturday is also the final day
for the silent auction set up
in the Capon Bridge Public
Library conference room.
There are some beautiful items
on display, including a whole
table of Jim Shore collectibles.
Now is the time to get those
final bids in.
Next week is Thanksgiving,
and that will be the theme
of the library’s 11:30 a.m.
Wednesday story hour for
toddlers aged 3-5. The children
will be treated to a story,
Wendi Silvano’s “Turkey
Trouble,” and will make
small cornucopias filled with
goodies. (No peanuts — the
library promised.) All of
this will be followed by a
Thanksgiving party.
Rain Crow’s 2nd annual
benefit for the Food Pantry
will be held Friday, Dec. 12, at
the American Legion Building
and will include an auction of
goods and services. Do you
have anything to donate for the
auction? If so, contact George
Constantz at 304-856-1010 or
[email protected]. The
Sydney
Pierce
Maurer
540-539-2337
benefit will be family-friendly,
featuring music by the Buck
Mountain String Band, Harvest
Hill Bluegrass, Kara and the
Wayfarers and of course, Rain
Crow. Santa Claus will be
there, along with our Knights
of Olde Hampshire, and all
proceeds will go to the Food
Pantry at the Amazing Grace
Baptist Church.
Kind and generous people
are thanked for supporting
other local groups in recent
weeks. The Capon Bridge
Elementary PTO held a
family craft night last Friday
and thanks all those who
donated canning jars for
the event. They very much
appreciate the community’s
support, as do the students. The
Capon Bridge Ruritan Club is
grateful to the people who gave
so generously at their yard and
bake sale the previous week.
The club collected over $900,
all of which goes to support
our community center.
At the Capon Bridge City
Council meeting last week,
Ruritans Len and Peggy
McMaster gave council
members an update on
the Capon Bridge Ruritan
Club’s plans for December.

Thank You
Gary R. Loy
The family of
(09.30.32 – 10.30.14) wishes to thank friends and
family for the support given during Gary’s illness
and subsequent passing.
Gary was loved as much as anyone could be,
and the family is grateful to all those who shared
wonderful memories, sent prayers, and extended
their hands to help care for him during his final
days.
The family also wishes to express sincere
thanks to the staffs of the Job Accommodation
Network at WVU, Hospice of the Panhandle,
Hampshire County Committee on Aging/Meals on Wheels, McKee
Funeral Home, Dr. Anthony Haywood, and the United States Navy.
Gary had a life made of friendships, laughter, and wide open spaces.
Although he has left us, we are surrounded by the laughter he left behind.
at 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec.
5, (rain date, Dec. 6). The
Capon Bible Fellowship will
lead us in singing carols,
and refreshments will be
provided by members of the
Capon Bible Fellowship and
the Capon Bridge United
Methodist and Christian
churches, with Greg’s
Restaurant donating hot
chocolate to help keep us warm
and in the holiday spirit.
On Saturday, Dec. 6, Santa
Claus will visit the Ruritan
Community Center from 9 a.m.
to noon. Bring your children to
see him, and the Ruritan Club
hopes to have a photographer
on duty to take pictures of your
little ones with the guy in red.
Other business at the city
council meeting included the
passing of the sewer tariff
increase with the cost of
each 1,000 gallons of sewage
rising from $7 to $9.10, which
should be sufficient to put our
town sewer department back
in the black. The town will
begin charging sewer system
customers the new rate on our
January bills, sent out in early
February.
Eric Sherrard from Thrasher
Engineering reported to city
council that there has been
yet another delay in the water
project with the temporary
bridge needed to install the
pumping station not expected
to arrive until the week after
Thanksgiving. New water
meters have been ordered
and will be installed in early
December.
Police Chief Ralph Rice
reported that the police
department received a $250
grant from the Wal-Mart
Community Grant Program,
and he has submitted four
additional grant applications,
for a total of $6,250. He has
also registered the town with 3
federal grant programs through
which our police department
can apply for assistance with
the purchase of bulletproof
vests, salary costs for newly
hired police officers and funds
to combat drug trafficking.
Chief Rice also reported
that the police department
issued a number of citations
and far more written and
verbal warnings last month,
while handling bolo alerts
for everything from missing
persons with dementia to
reckless driving to domestic
abuse. He also reported
checking to see how fast
people drive through town
when no police car is on
duty and finding many cars
travelling far enough above
the speed limit to be a cause of
concern.
One of the last items on the
city council agenda was the
approval of a building permit
to renovate the former real
estate office next to Eastern
Tire. The new owners plan to
use the building as a grocery
store and butcher shop and
may apply for a license to sell
liquor as well. The permit was
approved on the condition that
a grease trap, main shutoff
and backflow preventer be
installed, if they are not already
in place, to protect our water
and sewer system. q

In Loving Memory Of Our Son
Mark Scott Burkett
Aug. 17, 1963- Nov. 16, 1995
It’s been 19 years since the Lord
called you home.
We keep clean flowers on your grave,
and we keep your stone washed because
this is your home.
We just don’t visit you on Memorial
Day it’s all through the year.
We have also kept two of your
flowers alive after all of these 19 years.
With gratitude, Betty and Beth
With Love, Mom, Dad & family
Thank You
Thank You
The Slanesville Presbyterian Church
family wishes to extend its most heartfelt thanks to all who supported our
Christmas Bazaar. Because of you we
were able to give assistance to some local
seniors in critical need of help.
May God bless each and every one of
you.
The family of Virginia Sirbaugh would like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, hugs, flowers, cards, donations,
food and every other act of kindness during the loss of our mother,
grandmother and great grandmother.
We would like to also extend our personal appreciation and
gratitude to Hospice of the Panhandle, Retta Lockwood and
Robin Rippeon her caregivers, and to our extended family Jerry,
Lucas,and Ben Giffin for the special way that they brought comfort
to our family at such a difficult time. We would be remiss if we did
not also thank the Friends of the Library, who did such a great job
of organizing and providing for the meal following the service.
We will be eternally grateful to Steven Szelmeczki, who came
and shared God’s words of comfort and a song of joy and inspiration that brought peace to our loved one in her final hours.
His funeral service was a testament to the way she lived her
life and his words spoke to our hearts in a way that
we shall always remember.
Our Faith

Three sides to the coin
There is apparently a big controversy
over whether or not stores should be open
on holidays, such as Thanksgiving and
Christmas (can I still say Christmas?).
Apparently, there are those who think stores
should be closed so that employees can
be home with their families. Others seem
to think stores should be open so that, if a
person wants to shop, by-golly they should
be able to shop and how dare the store not
be open.
Now here is where there really are 3
sides to every coin. There is the side that
votes for the closure of stores on those
special holidays. They want everyone to
be able to be at home with their families,
gathered round the table eating turkey on
Thanksgiving and ham or whatever on
Christmas. It’s obvious that these folks are
traditional family folks who still believe
that the spirit of Norman Rockwell is
alive and well. They still have visions
of sugarplums dancing in their heads at
Christmas and images of families gathered
around the table with a stuffed turkey,
dressing and pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving
Don
Kesner
F o o d f o r Th o u gh t
Day.
Then there’s the 2nd side of the
coin where working on Christmas or
Thanksgiving can mean time-and-a-half
pay for some and double time for others.
It’s just another day for some, and since
there are no special festivities planned and
no interest in munching down on a 2nd
round of dessert during a gridiron rivalry,
then why not make the best of it and make a
little more in the paycheck for the week?
I understand there are a number of major
stores closing their doors on Thanksgiving
this year. A part of me would like to think it
was because the spirit of the holiday is once
again alive and well, but there is a cynical
part of me that says they will still have an
army of workers away from their families
in order to get stocked up and ready for
Black Friday.
And maybe that’s the third side of the
coin. Maybe it’s the idea that there always
seems to be an ulterior motive whenever
corporate America projects the idea that
they are doing something nice. Somewhere,
somehow, behind the facade, no matter how
it all looks on the surface, behind the veil
there is a selfish reason for the season.
It’s unfortunate, but I’m afraid we have
gone too far past the line to ever go back.
The days of “The Waltons” are over for
the most part. For every person who would
love to have the day off to spend with
family, there is most likely 10 who would
demand the stores be open so they can
run out for that last minute item that was
forgotten. Either that or they can’t wait
to get an early start on their Black Friday
shopping.
And so for those who would like to be
home, I hope it works out. For those who
use these holidays as an opportunity to
make a few extra dollars, I also hope it
works. And for those corporate businesses
that tend to let greed run their lives, I’m
sure they will somehow make sure they
come out on top.
But to all, Happy Thanksgiving.

Congratulations
Welcome to the family of
God. You now have been born
again. We are excited because
we know that God has good
things ahead for you.
You may ask yourself, “What
have I gotten myself in to?
What’s next?” Jesus said, “No
one can see the kingdom of God
unless he is born again.” –John
3:3
What this really means is
that you have opened your
heart to the spirit of God,
and he lives within you. You
have surrendered the control
of your life to him. The life
of a Christian is the most
exciting life a person can ever
experience.
There are 5 steps that are
important to help you grow in
Pastor Robert
D. Combs Sr.
Hanging Rock
Church of the
Brethren
the knowledge of Christ.
Step 1: Accept Christ in
your life. Matthew 11:28-30
states, “Come to me and I will
give you rest.” You have done
that by accepting Christ. You
have probably already started
experiencing the rest and peace
Jesus promised. Now you need
to start each day on the right
foot. Come to him in a quiet
time of prayer or Bible reading,
getting to know him better.
Step 2: Give him control over
your life. Jesus wants to steer
Do you believe in
evolution?
I am often asked why I don’t
believe in evolution. There is
no simple answer to this, but
the key word in the question
is “believe.” My attempt to
answer this must come in the
form of more than one column,
but I’ll try to answer as best as
I can. To me, evolution requires
much more faith to believe
than to believe in a creator.
Think of just the evolution of
man and leave all the other
supposedly evolved things out
of the equation for a moment,
which is everything else that
your eyes have ever seen since
rocks would have been the
only thing on this planet in the
evolutionist’s beginning.
Evolutionists ask us to
believe that man evolved
over billions of years from
an inanimate object, a special
type of rock or something
else. This rock or chemical
pile of goo had to come to life,
somehow. It’s easy for them
Rev. David M.
Brown
Cr e at i o n s c i e n c e
to point to an already existing
animal, such as an ape — our
supposedly closest missing
link, since we are somewhat
similar to that animal. However,
it becomes harder to prove our
being something else before
that. There are no fossils of
us turning from say a fish to
an ape. We have no half fish/
half ape fossil. This is where a
belief system or faith system
must come into play. Evolution
becomes more of a religion than
a science at this point.
The tree of life of
evolutionists is called the
“phylogenetic tree” and
supposedly traces us back
to that first pile of inorganic
material that somehow came
alive. If you are wondering
you in the right direction. Let
him take charge of your life.
Step 3: Learn God’s word.
After you have come to Jesus
and willingly turn control over
to him by faith, let him teach
you. The Bible tells us that
growth happens as a result of
knowledge. 2 Peter 1:3 states,
“His divine power has given us
everything we need for life.”
Step 4: Be baptized. Water
baptism is an outward sign of an
inward change or commitment.
It is a public confession and is
a symbol of washing your old
sinful nature out. John 3:5 says,
“Unless one is born of the water
and the spirit, he cannot enter
the kingdom of heaven.”
Step 5: Share the Good News
with others. It is commanded
by Jesus for all who know him
to go forth and tell others about
him and his kingdom while we
witness to our families, next
door or across the country. We
are to fulfill God’s command.
As the people of God, we need
to tell them it is more than
just good advice, it’s good
news, and we can rejoice in his
saving grace and mercy. “Go
therefore and make disciples of
all nations baptizing them in the
name of the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit and teach them
to obey his command and surely
I am with you always — to the
very end of the age.” –Matthew
28:19-20
Congratulations — you are
a Christian. “Praise God for
by grace you have been saved
through faith and this is not
from yourself, it is a gift of God
— and not by works so that
no one can boast.” –Ephesians
2:8-9 q
how that “thing” suddenly
came alive, join the crowd.
Like I said, it takes a belief or
faith system, the same as any
religion. The tree of life is a
modern concept developed
sometime back in the mid1800s. Darwin used it to
help write “On the Origin of
Species” in 1859. You can find
his tree of life in the 4th chapter
of that book. This was the kickoff ball for an evolutionary
belief system. The “game”
began. Billions of hours of
research and dollars have been
poured into proving this “tree of
life” ever since. The hope was
that transitional fossils would
one day be found proving the
“tree of life.” Nothing ever
has been found, and most of
the so-called missing links
(monkey men) have been
slowly eliminated from our tree
over the years, too. Some have
proven to be fakes and others
have lacked human DNA.
Those too degenerated to test
for DNA have been kept in the
loop. This doesn’t give one
much confidence in their belief.
Man’s tree of life, out of
necessity, must converge
with every other living thing
on Earth at some point. This
includes fish, spiders, trees,
grass…the list is endless. This
is because evolutionists believe
that non-life matter became
living matter just that once. If
this wasn’t so, we’d be seeing
rocks and piles of chemicals
springing to life on a daily
basis. We just don’t see this, but
we are asked to believe that it
did indeed happen. Your great,
great, great…whatever may
have been a tadpole or a flower.
However, thanks to government
controls, evolution became the
chosen belief to teach in our
country. This is not so in many
other countries, and they look at
us strangely for being so ardent
about this in our school system.
Evolution, in their country, is
taught as another “possibility”
of where life came from.
I’ll write more in the next
column. Keep your columns
together in order to follow
along. q

Retired school employees pack blizzard bags
The ‘bear’ facts
I’ve told you in previous
columns about the strange
critters that have been seen
around our house, including
a hairless fox and a fisher.
We had seen neither of these
creatures before and have never
seen them again. Although we
never saw it, there is evidence
that we had a visit from a bear
sometime Sunday night or early
Monday morning.
It was still dark when Laurie
left for work, so she didn’t see
anything out of the ordinary.
However, when my son-in-law,
David, drove in from nightshift,
he saw that things under the
carport were out of place. We
have a heavy-duty garbage
building that will accommodate
about 4 or 5 large cans. When
we went to bed there was
a 32-gallon bag of garbage
securely tied in the building
along with a 13-gallon bag
filled with paper products.
David noticed that the lid,
which covered the entire
building, had been ripped off
and was several feet away.
Both doors of the building were
standing wide open and were
completely empty of garbage
bags. Checking the area, David
discovered that both bags had
been dragged up a steep bank
before they were ripped apart.

It would have had to been
a bear to have the strength
to remove that very heavy
lid. I don’t know if it threw
or dragged it away from the
carport. And if we needed
further proof that it was a bear,
paw prints were and still are on
the lid — bear paw prints.
We’ve had raccoons get
into our garbage, but that was
before we obtained the storage
building. And it would have
taken a host of them to rip the
lid off. No, we were visited by
a bear that has decided that it’s
not time to hibernate.
About 8 years ago, I actually
saw a bear cross the neighbor’s
property that borders our land.
That was close enough for me.
Thankfully, I didn’t witness
one tearing our storage building
apart.
I guess that along with the
hairless fox and the fisher, we’ll
have to be on the lookout for
bears now. It’s beginning to
look like we live in the middle
of a wildlife crossing. q

Knocking the rust off
I used to play basketball a lot.
I played in church league growing up in Maryland, and that transitioned into a career playing for
Beall that spanned 7th through
12th grades.
In fact, as I mentioned in one
of my very 1st columns at the Review, my 1st trip to Romney was
a basketball game at the old middle school when I was in the 7th
grade.
After high school I played in a
pickup game at Frostburg State
every day at lunchtime when I
didn’t have class. It was the faculty game, but I knew a few people who got me connected to the
group.
At first I would fill in when
they needed extra players. After a
semester or 2 of showing up nearly every day, I was accepted as
one of the guys, and played with
them every weekday afternoon for
the better part of 3 years.
I improved so much as a player
in those years.
I was way better than I ever was
in high school, and looking back
on those days now a decade later,
it’s the reason I can still at least
show my face on a court without
being completely embarrassed.
Last September I broke my finger playing in a pickup game with
my friends in Cumberland. I was
forced out of action for a while,
then I moved to Hampshire County right about the time it was too
cold to play outside.
Basketball went to the back of
the list of priorities.
Flash forward 14 months, and
in the midst of a few changes I’ve
decided to make – the cliché ones
about eating better and exercising
more – I decided to try and get
back out there, and, after a bit of
research, I found a local game.
The only problem?
It’s on Sunday night! As you
know, I usually watch 9 hours of
football on Sunday and have to
numb the pain of the ‘Skins losing. You get the idea.
Luckily, the image makeover I
spoke of above happened to coincide perfectly with the single
worst game I’ve ever watched the
Redskins’ play (and that’s saying
a lot) Sunday afternoon.
The team was wretched on every level and was embarrassed by
the 1-8 Bucs at home. Needless
to say, after the game ended I was
ready to get out of my house.
So I headed for Romney and
into a new situation with new
people hoping for a familiar experience. The resulting hour-anda-half was both expected and unexpected.
The good?
I had a ton of fun and hopefully have found a regular source of
exercise and an outlet for a little
competition in the winter when
I can’t play golf. The guys were
very accommodating of a stranger
and I couldn’t have felt more welcome. Also, I didn’t have any ill
effects from my now crooked pinky finger.
The bad?
I haven’t really run a considerable distance for any amount of
time since the day I broke my finger last year. You can imagine

Hampshire High School and the
swim team will be the 1st Trojan
squad competing in the 2014-2015
campaign.
Hampshire will travel to Alderson
Broaddus College this Saturday for
a meet with 8 other teams.
“The season has started off with a
bang,” Coach Shelby Walburn said
via email Monday morning.
“The meet this Saturday will
give us some really good starting
points. We are without quite a few
key swimmers with the Italian Exchange trip, but I think that some of
our new swimmers are ready to step
up and take charge,” she said.
Returning for the Trojans are girls
Marissa Coyle, Randi McLaughlin,
Miranda Clark, Hattie Dove, Carlee Gagliardo, Amanda Marshall,
Brooke Spencer, Kayla Corbin and
Madison Draper, and boys Gunner
Edgell and Jacob Slocum.
This year, the captains are Edgell,
Draper, Corbin and Gagliardo.
“I am looking at some really
strong relays for both the boys and
the girls,” Walburn said. “We have
some new boys who are incredibly
talented in the pool like Michael
McQuaid and Garrett Lease.
“The entire boy’s team, while
small, is extremely dedicated and
talented. Jacob and Gunner are
ready to take this team to States
again like last year.” For the girls, newcomers Cat
Craig and Lexi Lease will join the
veterans with hopes for a strong
year. “They have been waiting to
have an overall strong team and after 2-plus years of training they are
ready to win,” Walburn said. “I am
looking forward to some strong
competitions on both sides this

Staley 2nd in state with 6 field goals
review Staff
SUNRISE
SUMMIT
— An up-and-down year for
the Hampshire High football team’s offense yielded 1
standout performance at the
state level.
Those that pay attention to
such things will not be surprised.
Trojan placekicker Evan
Staley, a junior, ranked 2nd
in the state in successful field
goals, splitting the uprights for
3 points 6 times this season.
He also had 30 extra-point
kicks.
Staley finished tied with
Evan Stire from Morgantown
and trailed only Cason Kessinger of Huntington and Zak
Kriechbaum of Linsly who
finished with 7 kicks.
“He did a super job,” Hampshire football coach Darren
Grace said, adding, “his field
goals were great, obviously,
but he also gave us great field
position with his leg all season
long.”
In addition to placekicking, Staley served as the punter and routinely pinned teams
inside the 30 yard-line. He
also specialized in kicking the
football out of the end zone on
kickoffs, forcing touchbacks
for the opposition.
“Hopefully next year he’ll
come out and do even better,”
Grace said. “He’s a big part of
what we do on offense.” o

this fall.
you’re not in Kansas any longer, Bill Snyder
The HCR spent idle weekend No.
2 passively monitoring the 2014-15
men’s basketball team and convalescing
from football’s painful 1st-half no show
against the Texas Longhorns in Austin. It’s never easy to lose to Texas, especially when one also loses a wager to
his school president, who is a UT alum.
First, the good news: Head Coach
Bob Huggins’ team is a badly aimed
2-0, headed into the Puerto Rico Tipoff
Tournament.
Late Thursday night, WVU faces
nearby George Mason, a team that’s
earned as many Final Fours as WVU
has in recent years. After that, WVU is
guaranteed 3 other games against some
combo of New Mexico, Boston College, UConn, College of Charleston,
Texas A&M or Dayton.
Of course, competing for an audience
with the basketball team will be the 6-4
Mountaineer football team. Remember
them? yes, believe it or not, the season
didn’t end 10 days ago in aforementioned Austin.
The HCR can compare that 1st half
only to the 2nd half of the Kansas game
in terms of lethargy, incompetence, and
disorder, at least on offense and special
teams, the “2 sides of the ball” that cost
WVU’s defense a shutout in that game.
The luck of
the draw
Every year it’s the same old
routine when November rolls
around. The alarm clock goes
off well before daylight, and
any free time is spent on stand
patiently waiting for that big
buck to come by. Trail camera pictures are analyzed, and
stands are placed in the best
possible locations.
Pre-scouting before the deer
season even comes in to figure
out what mast hit and where
the food is going to be helps in
determining where to place a
tree stand or ground blind. Not
to mention all the hours spent
preparing and mowing food
plots in the summer to give
the deer a quality food source.
My point is serious deer hunters spend a lot of time not only
preparing for deer season but
also sitting for hours on stand
once it comes in.
I’ve lived and hunted in
West Virginia all of my life,
and I’ve come to the conclusion that no matter how well
prepared you think you are
once deer season comes in, it’s
being in the right place at the
right time. There are so many
factors that come into play, especially when the rut is in. A
hot doe can lead a big buck
wherever she goes. He could
be under your stand one day
and a mile away the next. you
just never know. Add thousands of hunters in the woods
during buck season, and deer
can be spooked and run your
direction at any second.

In the game in Austin, the 1st-half defense joined in on the foibles, allowing
UT 24 points and making its normally
pedestrian offense look something akin
to Oregon’s. In the 2nd half, the defense
stiffened mightily, allowing only a late
4th-quarter, short-field TD following a
failed onside kick attempt.
Texas’ other points, a safety, occurred
as a result of breakdowns on offense
and the punt return team. Once again, a
punt went uncaught, and rolled 20 yards
like a golf putt to the goal line, where
it was ceremoniously downed, opening the door for a swinging gate sack by
Cedric Reed, killing what little momentum the offense had arduously chiseled
out in the 3rd quarter.
The HCR hopes that, during the off
week and upcoming short week, special
teams coordinator Joe DeForest finds

Then there’s the chance
that the buck you’re after can
get hit by a vehicle, shot by
a neighbor, poached and so
forth. There are so many factors that cannot be controlled.
As a landowner, all I can do is
create the best possible habitat for wildlife and then just sit
back and wait for hopefully a
big buck to walk through once
deer season comes in.
Those hunting on public
lands have to do their homework as well to determine
where the mast hit, what area
to hunt and how to best access it, where others are hunting and so forth. Even then, it’s
still the luck of the draw and
like playing the lottery trying
to connect with a mature buck.
Of course, the more time
you can spend in the deer
woods, the better your odds
are. I spent 2 months hunting
the buck I fortunately ended up
shooting on Thanksgiving Day
last year.
Without the snow cover on
the ground, I would never have
seen the heavy racked 10-point
that day. I first spotted him at
more than 500 yards, and then
shot him at 326 yards 6 hours
later. Persistence, patients and
snow helped me last Thanksgiving.
Weather is another factor in
someone, anyone, who can field a punt.
Not return a punt — we wish to not get
so ambitious as that — but just catch
the ball somewhere between the 10- and
20-yard line and keep the offense off
the goal line. There are 85 scholarship
players and tons of walk-ons, but no
one can catch a punt?
It also appears, as much as WVU’s
depth has improved, 2 areas are beginning to wear on the offense: the offensive line, especially the tackles, and
playmakers at wide receiver not named
Kevin White and Mario Alford.
On the offensive line, all-conference
Quinton Spain, Tyler Orlosky, Mark
Glowinski, Marquis Lucas, and Adam
“yellow-Flag” Pankey have played a
super majority of the season’s snaps.
Against Texas, they looked tired,
slow and overpowered. Fatigue could
be a factor in pass protection breakdowns and narrower running lanes for
the backs. Nonetheless, since the Baylor
game, there’s been a well-documented
decline in WVU’s offensive production.
Will the off week be enough to remedy WVU’s late-season issues, none of
which truly indicate that, overall, the
program is headed in the wrong direction again? It’s just life in the Big 12.

deer hunting. As I mentioned
I love hunting with snow on
the ground. Windy conditions
might not allow you to hunt
in a tree stand without getting
rocked all over the place, so
a backup plan is always nice
to have. Rain can allow you
to slip along quietly without
crunching leaves or you can sit
in a ground blind and stay dry.
Speaking as a dad of a
3-year-old, hunting time can
be hard to come by nowadays,
but I make sure to make the
most of it when I’m out there.
I’m really enjoying being able
to hunt on Sunday this year as
it gives me an extra day, but
I’ll save that column for next
week.
So this deer season try to get
out there every chance you get,
be patient and keep a positive
attitude. I know I sometimes
struggle with the last one when
gunshots are ringing out all
around me on the first 3 days
of gun season, but you have to
stay positive and be persistent.
The much-anticipated
2-week long buck gun season
starts Monday, Nov. 24, and
runs to Saturday, Dec. 6. Muzzleloader season is the following week from Dec. 8 to 13.
Then there’s one last chance
to fill the freezer on the split
antlerless season on Dec. 18 to
20. It’s open again on Dec. 29
to 31, to finish the year and the
2014 deer seasons.
As always, good luck, stay
safe and enjoy your time in
the West Virginia deer woods.
Wear those safety belts and
plenty of blaze orange. Most of
all, take your time, settle those
cross hairs and shoot straight.

CHARLESTON — As is traditional every Monday before
Thanksgiving, West Virginia’s
2-week antlered firearm season
begins Monday and continues
through Dec. 6, 2014.
The West Virginia buck gun
season provides a wealth of
recreational opportunities for
hunters and has a tremendous
economic impact on the state’s
economy.
“Hunters should enjoy a
great deer season in 2014,”
said Curtis I. Taylor, chief of
the Wildlife Resources Section
of the Division of Natural Resources (DNR). “Hunters can
harvest an additional buck with
the purchase of the appropriate
stamp.”
Resident hunters wanting the
extra buck must purchase the
Class RG stamp prior to the beginning of the season. The cost
is $21. The RG stamp must be
accompanied by a Class A and
CS, A-L, AB-L, X, XS, XJ,
AH, AHJ or free license.
Resident landowners have
the privilege of harvesting an
extra buck without purchasing
the RG stamp if they are hunting on their own property. Nonresident hunters wanting an
extra buck must purchase an
RRG stamp prior to the begin-
ning of the season, and the cost
is $43. The RRG stamp must
be accompanied by the Class
E, AAH, AAHJ or XXJ license.
Nonresident hunters who
own land in West Virginia are
not exempt from purchasing a
license or the extra buck stamp,
even if hunting on their own
property.
Buck firearm hunters in 31
counties are required to take an
antlerless deer with a firearm
prior to harvesting a second
antlered deer during the buck
firearms season.
Most counties are open to
concurrent antlerless deer season hunting during the tradi-
5 Reasons to Hate K-State:
5. That beatdown 2 years ago when
WVU still had a chance to salvage a
very good season. However, Collin

4. Collin Klein = Tim Tebow light.
3. The Little Apple. yeah, very clever.
2. It’s amazingly hard to have an emotional response to anything related to
Kansas and, thus, to do this list.
1. It’s a partisan red state with a town
named Liberal.
Prediction: A well-rested defense saves
the day, and Dreamius Smith becomes
top dog in the backfield, breaking off at
least 2 long TD runs: WVU 28, K-State

“The team is young this year

I am looking to the future with

even more talent coming in as

are going to be incredible. I

They will head to Cumberland on Thursday for practice

And though I didn’t reach
that unfortunate plateau, I was

Hopefully that was the worst

be a bit easier.
It’s been a vastly different
few weeks for me on a couple

piece of the puzzle in making

the HHS girls’ basketball team
who helped out.
They were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and patient
with the kids, and their passion for the game really showed
through.
If you want to sign up for
the Biddy Buddy Basketball

make it to the registration on
Saturday, you’re still not too
late to join the fun. There are
several ways that you may register. you may log onto our
website, hampshirecountyparks.

will also be accepting registrations the day of the draft.
This year we are making Biddy Buddy a county-wide league.
There will no longer be separate
leagues in Romney and Capon
Larry
see
PA r K S & r e C
Bridge, but rather one league
that will alternate practices and
games between the two locations.
All registered players will be
entered into the draft together,
rather than being separated by
location.
The draft for this year’s Biddy Buddy League will be held
on Sunday, Nov. 23, at Romney
Middle School. The boys’ draft
will run from 1 until 3 p.m., followed by the girls’ draft from 3
until 5 p.m.
Players will go through some
fundamental drills before the
coaches select their teams, so
players should dress appropriately to work out.
After the draft, parents and
players will have a chance to
meet with their coaches, who
will provide practice schedules
and other pertinent information
about the league.
If you have questions about
Biddy Buddy, you may call
league coordinator David Richardson at 304-813-2644 or the
HCP&R Office.
Biddy Buddy is one of the
longest-running and best programs that we sponsor, so don’t
miss out on this opportunity to
join the fun.
The 2nd annual Christmas
Festival of Lights kicks off with
the lighting ceremony, which
will be held on Saturday, Nov.

We will be serving coffee,
hot chocolate and cookies at
the ceremony, and Santa will
be there to talk to all the kids,
young and old.
The Festival officially begins at 6 p.m. when our displays
are lit for the first time. Thanks
to the generosity of the Hampshire County Commission, the
Hampshire County Parks and

Kenny McBride and his crew
have done a fantastic job of getting the lights up and running
the electricity to them.
The Festival will be open
from 6 until 10 p.m. every night

Our Walk To Be Fit Program
officially ended on Oct. 31, and
we have been busy collecting
final tally sheets and calculating
distances walked.
We will be contacting walkers who reached milestones
sometime in the next few weeks
to make arrangements for delivery of prizes.
If you think you have earned
a prize and don’t hear from us
in the near future, give us a call
and we’ll make sure that you
get the reward that you have
earned. It is not our intention
to miss anyone who deserves a
prize for his or her hard work.
Just because Walk To Be Fit
is over for another year, that
doesn’t mean that you have to
stop exercising. There are still
plenty of warm days left when
you can get out and take a walk,
a jog or a bike ride sometime
during the day.
HCP&R would like to thank
all those who participated in
Walk To Be Fit, and we look
forward to seeing all of you
next April when the program
begins anew. o

ACA enrollment
now open
niCK gAudio review Staff
West Virginians can now sign
up for health insurance coverage
for 2015 through the federallysubsidized marketplace under
the Affordable Care Act.
The enrollment period opened
on Saturday and runs through
Feb. 15. The last day to apply for
coverage that will start on the
very first day of 2015, however,
is Dec. 15.
Last year, there was a fee for
not having health insurance — 1
percent of a household’s yearly
income or $95 per person, or
$47.50 per child under 18. This
year, the penalty increases. For
those without coverage, the fee
jumps to whichever is greater —
2 percent of annual household
income or $325 per adult and
$162.50 per child under 18.
The maximum penalty for
a family without insurance is
$975.
If you purchased insurance
through the ACA marketplace
last year, you have the option to
renew it or change your plan.
In order to qualify for subsidies
this year, the ACA states, you
must earn between 138 percent
and 400 percent of the federal
poverty level — which amounts
to between about $16,000 and
$47,000, respectively, for an
individual.
Similar to other, private health
care plans, rates vary based on
tobacco use, family composition,
age, and geography. Officially,
West Virginia has established
11 geographic rating areas.
Hampshire falls in Group 7
with Hardy, Mineral, Pendleton,
Grant and Morgan counties.
The average monthly cost
of the 2nd lowest “Silver”
plan for an individual 50 years
old last year in Hampshire
County ranged from $331 to
$400, according to a report
by the Robert Woods Johnson
Foundation.
Currently, the only provider
on the marketplace is Highmark

Consenting to a
serious medical
treatment
requires
education and
empowerment
This week a patient came
to me asking if he should
have open-heart surgery. Am
I qualified to provide advice?
Some of my critics believe
I have no business making
recommendations since I am
not a specialist in the field
and that only cardiologists
are qualified to offer such
opinions.
My take on this is simple:
The advice I provide is
based on available scientific
research on the subject, and I
feel able to inform patients of
this research (or on occasion,
lack of it) to help them make
rational decisions. I am not
a cardiac specialist, though I
have access to experts in the
field whose opinion I often
seek. I believe that an educated
second opinion offers a muchneeded outlet for every patient
to make appropriate choices
and decisions. I am simply an
advocate, seeking to compile
the best information possible to
make every reader or patient a

Nutrition scientists at Tufts
University say it may be
possible to train the brain to
prefer healthful low-calorie
foods over high-calorie edibles
— a carrot, for example, over a
Cheetos puff.
“We don’t start out in life
loving French fries and hating,
for example, whole-wheat
pasta,” said Susan B. Roberts,
director of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture’s Energy
Metabolism Laboratory. “This
conditioning happens over
time in response to eating —
repeatedly — what is out there
in the toxic food environment.”
Scientists suspect that with
years of bad food choices,
consumers establish mental
addiction circuits that are
difficult, if not impossible, to
reverse. To see whether it is
possible, they tested groups
of obese people and groups of
people with normal weights
in a new weight-loss/control
program that included brain
imaging and a reward system
for behavioral changes.
They found that the people
who effectively lost weight
also displayed changes in the
brain reward center associated
with learning and addiction. In
such cases, their brains showed
an increased sensitivity for

First and foremost, you must
have faith and trust in your
physician and his abilities. In
addition, being empowered
and knowledgeable about your
disease is critical in decisionmaking. To accomplish this,
every adult must become
computer-literate, as the
Internet has completely
revolutionized our access
to information. Once you
know how to search for a
medical problem, the available
information is overwhelming.
Just as important is learning
how to use reputable medical
websites. Some require a fee,
but others do not. Among the
best are WebMD, the National
Institutes of Health at www.
nih.gov and all reputable
medical schools and hospitals.
When deciding whether
to have a particular surgery
or procedure, ask 3 critical
questions: Will the treatment
prolong life? Will it improve
quality of life? What are the
side effects?

pleasure in consuming them.
“The weight loss program
is specifically designed to
change how people react to
different foods, and our study
shows those who participated
in it had an increased desire
for healthier foods along with
a decreased preference for
unhealthy foods, the combined
effects of which are probably
critical for sustainable weight
control,” said co-author Sai

already had 2 previous openheart surgeries. His first openheart surgery was in 1995
and the 2nd in 2007. Now his
stress test is abnormal and an
angiogram shows worsening
blockage. His cardiologist
felt a 3rd surgery should be
considered but that he would
leave the decision “up to him,”
as he “was on the fence” about
this one. What was the patient
to do?
Well, actually, the decision
is easy. First, will surgery
prolong his life? He is aged
72, and although, according to
the patient, he understood that
the surgery would prolong his
life by as much as 10 years,
there is no scientific evidence
to support this claim. In fact,
there is no evidence that his
life would be prolonged at all
or that surgery would reduce
the risk of a heart attack.
Would it improve the quality
of life? Again, the answer is
quite clear. Surgery or any
cardiac intervention is effective
in relieving symptoms such as
severe limitation in exercise
tolerance, shortness of breath
or chest pain that no longer
can be treated medically. But
this patient had no symptoms.
He had no shortness of breath,
chest pain or heart failure,
and his heart was pumping
normally. No, the surgery
would not improve his quality
of life.
And finally, what are the
side effects? Here the danger
of a 3rd open-heart surgery is
high. The risk of death is in
excess of 10 percent, and for
memory loss or other serious
medical complication, the risk
is more than 50 percent. So the
decision is easy: Surgery is not
indicated. Rather than surgery,
this patient must be treated
medically and be compulsive
about a heart-healthy lifestyle.
Remember: The goal of
treatment must be clear. No
question you should have
implicit faith and trust in
your physician. But this does
not mean you should blindly
follow his advice. Thanks to
readily available information,
you can learn if quality of life
will be improved and the risk
of side effects. If a physician
tells you side effects are rare
or that his results are better
than anyone else’s, beware.
Obtaining this information
will make it possible to
make a rational choice that is
appropriate for you.

Stories for the waiting room
Manufacturers of electronic
cigarettes are quick to note
their product does not emit
many of the carcinogens found
in burning tobacco, but a new
study out of the University of
Southern California suggests
e-cigarette vapor contains
much higher levels of nickel
than normal cigarettes, and
there’s evidence of chromium,
which isn’t found in tobacco
cigarettes at all.
Both nickel and chromium
are toxic metals, as are lead
and zinc, which were also
found in e-cigarette vapor,
though in lower concentrations
than tobacco cigarettes.
“Our results demonstrate that
overall electronic cigarettes
seem to be less harmful than
regular cigarettes, but their
elevated content of toxic metals
such as nickel and chromium
(does) raise concerns,” said
study author Constantinos
Sioutas.

Winter sneaks in
early
Fall is still in session,
but this wacky weather has
taken a turn for the frigid.
Nationwide people are
breaking out their sweaters
and scarves in preparation
for the glacial winter that is
approaching at a rapid pace.
At this point you might be
asking yourself, “What the
heck does this have to do
with school?” The answer is
quite a few things; students at
Hampshire High School are
reasonably familiar with the
cold weather.
A number of classes at
HHS are located in outer
buildings separate from
the main building. Several
students have to travel outside
to classes multiple times
throughout the day. Getting to
these classes is a hassle when
the weather is warm, but it’s
a downright atrocity in the
winter. Having to carry around
a big winter coat in addition to
a sizably hefty backpack filled
with schoolbooks is extremely
inconvenient, not to mention
uncomfortable, but that feeling
of walking into a heated room
after walking quite a distance
in the cold is second to none.
The point being: having to
walk to class outside in the
cold stinks, but it’s not the
worst thing in the world.
What really stinks though,
is the faulty and even lack
of heating in the school
facilities. In some classrooms
the temperature is pleasant
Shayna
hePner
cRuisinG HHs
and toasty warm, but in the
majority of classrooms, the
temperature is below pleasant.
In many rooms, the heat just
won’t rise to an acceptable
temperature, but in others
it doesn’t work altogether.
However, in a high school as
old as Hampshire, it seems
that not much can be done
about this, which also really
stinks.
Another unpleasant thing
about having to go to high
school when the weather is
cold is waking up early. No
this is never fun any time
of the year, but, like most
other exploits, it’s made
much more unfathomable
when the temperature outside
plummets. Picture this: you’re
in bed, cozy and warm under
approximately 10 blankets,
sound asleep and having
the best dream of your life
when, all of a sudden, you’re
yanked out of your blissful
state of rest by an obnoxiously
dissonant alarm going off.
you wake up, throw off the
blankets and are struck by
how cold the air is. Then you
burrow back into bed under
your 10 blankets. your drive to
get up and going is gone. This
is what it’s like almost every
day the weather is cold. q

Agricultural plastic recycling
effort to begin in December
Do you use plastic bale
wrap or plastic bale netting on
your hay bales? If you do, you
have probably thought, “There
must be a better way to get
rid of this stuff.” The Region
VIII Solid Waste Authority,
West Virginia Department of
Environmental Protection, the
West Virginia Farm Bureau and
the WVU Extension Service
are beginning a pilot project
to collect, free of charge,
certain agricultural plastics for
recycling.
For many years landfills have
been the popular “dumping
place” for these plastics. Even
worse, is the on-farm disposal
that can create unsightly piles,
a rodent haven or simply a
mess. As the hay-feeding
season begins, knowing that
you may have a place to go
with these certain plastic
materials may help to dispose
of these agricultural plastics in
a responsible way.
This project will provide
users of plastic bale wrap
and plastic bale netting the
opportunity to dispose of
most of the material in an
environmentally friendly way.
The agricultural plastics
that can be recycled include
silage bag plastic, plastic net
wrap, silage wrap plastic and
plastic bunk silo covers. These
should be kept relatively clean
(no mud or manure covered
plastic) and dry. It should be
as free of as much vegetative
material as possible, in bundles
that can be handled by one
person, collected and stored
off the ground and again in a
dry location before delivery.
Net wrap of all colors can be
recycled; however, they must
be separated. Rock, soil and/or
manure covered plastic should
not be delivered; excessively
dirty or contaminated material
will not be accepted for
recycling.
Unfortunately, this project
cannot accept plastic bale
twine, row covers, greenhouse
plastic, nursery pots, irrigation
tubing, nor plastic jugs or
bottles. Unacceptable materials
will be immediately returned to
the hauler.
Agricultural plastics will be
accepted for recycling at the
following locations only at
the announced dates and times
for recycling. Agricultural
plastics will be received at the
Romney Transfer Station the
1st Wednesday of the month
from December 2014 through
May 2015 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
and at the Petersburg Transfer
Station on the 2nd Wednesday
of the month from December
2014 through May 2015 from 8
a.m. to 3 p.m.
For more information on the
agricultural plastics recycling
effort in Region VIII, including
the counties of Hampshire,
Grant, Hardy, Mineral and
Pendleton, contact your local

USDA to collect final crop production data
CHARLESTON — As
the 2014 growing season
officially comes to an end,
the United States Department
of Agriculture’s
National
Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) will contact producers
nationwide to gather final
year-end crop production
numbers and the amount of
grain and oilseed they store on
their farms. At the same time,
NASS will survey grain facility
operators to determine yearend off-farm grain and oilseed
stocks.
“These surveys are the largest
and most important year-end
surveys conducted by NASS,”
explained
NASS’s
West
Virginia state statistician David
Knopf. “They are the basis for
the official USDA estimates of
production and year-end grain
and oilseed supplies. Data from
the survey will benefit farmers
and processors by providing
timely and accurate information
to help them make critical
year-end business decisions
and begin planning for the
next growing and marketing
season.”
The information will be
compiled, analyzed and then
published in a series of USDA
reports, including the “Crop
Production Annual Summary”
and quarterly “Grain Stocks”
report.
“Responses to the producer
survey will be included
in the county agricultural
production survey and used
in calculating county yields,”
explained Knopf. “USDA uses
county yield information from
the survey to evaluate and
administer vital farm disaster
and
insurance
programs.
Farmers who receive this
survey are not included in the
county agricultural production
survey; therefore, this is their
only opportunity to be included
in the calculation of West
Virginia county yields.”
As with all NASS surveys,
information
provided
by
respondents is confidential,
as required by federal law.
NASS safeguards the privacy
of all responses and publishes
only aggregate data, ensuring
that no individual operation
or producer can be identified.
These and all NASS reports are
available online at www.nass.
usda.gov.

office at 1-800-535-7088. q

WVU Extension helps farmers,
producers grow businesses
CHARLESTON — West
Virginia University Extension
Service is hosting a Food
for Profit workshop today in
Charleston.
Food for Profit takes attendees
through the beginning steps of
starting small food businesses
and combines presentations and
guest speakers with an interactive
learning environment.
“If you grow, make and pack
The 10th annual
(we think) Old
Hippie Orchard
Day
When a tradition has begun,
it just kind of sneaks up on you.
Oh sure, there are the few that
start as the “1st annual,” but
those are usually commercial
endeavors. The term “1st
annual” roughly translated
means “save up some money
and spend it here next year.”
For those not familiar with
the annual Old Hippie Orchard
Day, I’ll cover some of the
basics. The Old Hippie, aka
my wife, Stephanie, organizes
an annual group adventure
to Marker-Miller Orchard
at Opequon (Frog Eye), Va.
Smiling, cool and persuasive,
she starts recruiting her picking
crew around late September.
Who could resist the prospect
of picnicking in the orchard
with lovely fall weather
amongst apples, weathered field
crates and antique trucks?
These hapless victims fall
willingly into her web. When
at last all the other pickers
have gone through the orchard,
she pays for a truckload of
Pick-Your-Own (PYO) ground
apples. She then works us
like rented mules, picking up
ground apples into buckets,
then dumping them into the
back of her ancient rust and
lichen encrusted Ford pickup
until it’s full. Interestingly, she
has lots of repeat customers.
It kind of reminds me of that
old joke about the free river
cruise.*
Her “apple truck” is a
recurring character in this
column (see the story “Le
Boheme”), so I’ll try to stick
to parts of its history that I
haven’t already covered. It’s
a 1979 Ford F-150. I found it
more or less abandoned under
a load of brush in a field near
Purcellville, Va., around 1998. I
left a note in a plastic bag under
a windshield wiper expressing
my interest in buying the truck.
Months later, a young woman
called, identifying herself as
the owner of the truck. She
had been using it to clean up
her little horse farm when the
automatic transmission failed.
She had been stressing over
how to get rid of the truck
when she found my note. She
very enthusiastically told me
to come and get it — free.
Walker Industries’ rollback was
dispatched shortly thereafter.
With the truck home, I soon
found the problem; mice had
chewed through one of the
transmission fluid cooling
lines, and all the transmission
fluid had leaked out. With a
new section of line and some
fluid, the problem was solved. I
offered to return the truck to the
woman with a small repair and
towing bill but she declined,
wishing me all the best.
I had intended to paint the
truck black, install a tool body
and make it the next Old Black
Truck for my mobile tractor

your own food and sell it at a
grocery store or restaurant, Food
for Profit will help you create
a business that matches your
vision and goals,” said Kerri
Wade, families and health agent
for the Kanawha County WVU
Extension Service.
Food for Profit is an awardwinning program. It comes
to West Virginia through a
2012 Northeast Sustainable
Ted
Kalvitis
fa r m u s e
repair business, but this was not
to be.
I’m still a little confused as to
how it gradually became “her”
truck. I guess it started with
girly things like the colorful
pinwheel mounted on the dash
that spins whenever the sliding
rear window is opened. This
was followed by a flat cushion
to position her higher in the
seat. Its position on the driver’s
seat became its default setting.
Next appeared the small, flat
wicker basket between the
driver and passenger’s side
seats. This basket contains
things like a box of Kleenex,
hand lotion, a few bandanas,
a paperback and a scrunchie
or two. She started leaving
the truck at the far end of her
school bus run.
Unbeknownst to me, she
once lent the truck to 1 of our
daughters while her Jeep was
in the shop. “Hey, I just saw
Leah driving your truck,” I
heard myself say. Note that I
unwittingly and instinctively
referred to the truck as hers.
It was her same slow, cunning
persuasion that caused this crew
of 12 persons to agree to meet
at the orchard last Tuesday. I
should mention that 4 of these
folks were there to get their
own load of cider apples but
helped us as well.
Marker-Miller Orchard
is harvested in a number of
different ways; a contracted
migrant and Jamaican picking
crew from the labor camp picks
the largest volume; Pick-YourOwn visitors harvest certain
designated areas. Next come
the food pantry gleaners and
finally, us — ground apple
PYO’ers. The official term
for what we’re collecting is
“wildlife apples.” Cider and
sauce apples would probably be
a more accurate term, especially
since feeding deer has become
illegal. (Feeding causes deer
to congregate, thus spreading
chronic wasting disease among
the herds.)
Picking strategies can change
hourly as grower, John Marker,
orchestrates this diverse
harvest. We have no choice
but to roll with it. Mr. Marker
called and told us to delay our
arrival by a couple of hours.
A particular block of orchard
that we were interested in
“ground-hogging” hadn’t yet
been picked. He had originally
planned to send the Jamaican
crew through and harvest it in
mere minutes.
However, the weather was
becoming very pleasant and a
Agriculture

Profit has a great history of
success. It will help a lot of
food growers in West Virginia

doing so,” Wade said. For more info call 304-7209573 or email Kerri.Wade@
mail.wvu.edu. q
very promising PYO crowd was
amassing. He decided, instead,
to open the block for PYO for
the morning and early afternoon
after which we could help
ourselves. Having some orchard
background, we understood the
necessity of this change; though
it meant a later start, and we
would have to work faster.
I had my strategy in place as
to how I could avoid being in
the “groundhog” crew. Peaks
of Otter Winery conducts a
series of wine tasting sessions
at the orchard. The fee is $5 per
session and is nonrefundable. I
planned to slap down a twenty
and stay all day. Here’s the
brilliant part; her Scottish
thrift (she’s even authorized to
wear the Gordon plaid) would
prevent her from pulling me
out of there before I got my
money’s worth.
But this was a Tuesday; the
wine tasting was weekends
only. I soon found myself on all
fours — threes actually, with
one arm free for picking —
gathering apples into 5-gallon
buckets, then carrying them to
the truck, just like Tom Joad.
(Although, the 2 cents a bucket
wasn’t forthcoming.)
But seriously, though I have
a little fun at the expense of my
wife and this yearly event, let
me assure the reader that a good
time was had by all. As for the
apples, her loaded apple truck
often draws a crowd in parking
lots on the way home. She gives
an impromptu class in apple
varieties and their cooking,
sauce and dessert properties —
all the while handing out free
samples.
Some will appear in a
basket of mixed apples at the
Hampshire Wellness Center
(apple life expectancy there —
2 minutes). Some of the apples
will appear as applesauce, pies
and apple butter, delivered to
folks who can no longer make
it to the orchard on their own.
Of course, our larder is supplied
as well.
We’ve already received a jug
of fresh cider from the other
crew. I’m leaving it on the
back porch to “turn.” Apples
cider, old trucks and the great
outdoors — does it get any
better than that? Well, yes, a
wine tasting session would have
been nice, too, but that would
come later.
*The joke, as told over a
certain tractor parts counter
(The teller asked that his name
be withheld lest we offend
anyone who may have actually
been on the free river cruise.):
A lone tourist sees a sign for
a free river cruise. He answers
this advertisement only to find
himself tied to a log floating
downstream. At a log-jam
along the way, he encounters
another fellow also tied to a
log. “Do they serve any food on
this tour?” he asked the other
fellow. “They didn’t last year,”
came the reply. q

PAW PAW — Since the last report, the
Pin Oak CEOS Club has held 2 meetings at
the Paw Paw Senior Center. In October, 4
members attended — Jan Ott, Saretta Eaton,
Betty Bridges and Linda Ardinger. Members
present for the November meeting were
Saretta Eaton, Joan Maggio, Jo Musialowski,
Mary Ann Buzzanca, Linda Ardinger, Betty
Bridges, Helen Tucker and Jan Ott.
At each meeting the club collect was read
in unison by the attending members. Some
uplifting words found in the collect are “Let
us be large in thought, in word, in deed.”
These words are not only very important
to be observed by the club but also by each
individual person.
The chairmen of the separate committees
gave their reports. Linda informed us that a
total of 12 cards had been sent from the club
for the months of October and November.
Saretta collected items, which she will
deliver to the Hampshire nursing home,
from the club members. These items will be
used for their Christmas auction program.
Helen gave us a report on the district
achievement luncheon. Three members
were able to attend, Marie, Helen and Joan,
accompanied by her friend, Bill Platt. Bill
was a lucky winner of one of the door prizes.
Receiving certificates for 500 volunteer
hours for the past year were Betty, Joan,
Sonja and Linda. Also, Linda was given a
reward for reading the most books — a total
of 189. Those receiving new member pins
were Mary Ann and Jo. As you can see,
the club, under Jan’s leadership, has been
“large” indeed over the past year. Hurrah for
all.
This year, the Paw Paw “Lights of
Love” tree will be sponsored by the Paw
Paw Public Library. For $5 per name, you
may sponsor a light “in honor of” or “in
memory of” a person of your choice. The
club chose to do a light in memory of a dear
departed member, Ruby Fishel. Also, Betty
presented the library the book of poetry,
“Loving Promises,” by Helen Steiner Rice,
in memory of Ruby. The club also gave
the library a donation of $50. Helen and
Jan presented these donations to Karen
Tomlinson, who represented the library.
your support of the library is very much
needed and will be greatly appreciated.
Jan, health motivator, presented some
helpful facts on the “flavorful curry” and 3
spices, cumin, ginger and cloves. Put some
curry in a stew or soup and serve over rice
or flat bread. Sounds spicy and tasty. Have
a toothache or bad breath? Try some clove
oil. All of these spices are a good way to add
health benefits to your diet.
As the days are shortening and the
weather becomes cooler, don’t let yourself
experience SAD, Seasonal Affective
Disorder. The lesson for October was based
on the symptoms and treatment of this
disorder. Exercise is one important way of
lifting SAD.
And then for November, the club members
learned about “bread-tastic.” Bread is a
traditional global mainstay that is referred
to as the “staff of life.” Some breads found
in the United States and throughout the
world for you to enjoy are bagels, baguette,
cornbread, chapati, pita, tortilla or perhaps
a scone.
The time of year is approaching when
the club members can let their lights shine
in this community. On Monday, Dec. 1, at 9
a.m., weather permitting, members will be
gathering to decorate the Pin Oak Fountain
for Christmas. The filling of the Christmas
stockings for the elderly in the area is
planned for Monday, Dec. 8, at 9 a.m. at
the Ardinger’s. These will be delivered
after lunch. The club Christmas outing was
decided upon for Thursday, Dec. 11, with
lunch at the Country Inn in Berkeley Springs
at 11 a.m. and then touring the Ice House.
Any lady who feels like “shining” come and
join the group for any of these events.
Wow. What a special group of ladies who
are definitely “large in thought, in word and
in deed.” q
McCoy’s Grawnd Theatre presents ‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’
4-h teen leaders Sam Cookman, Allison Cowgill and Jordan
Clark lead newly elected officers in this year’s officer
installation ceremony.
MOOREFIELD — Make
plans now to see McCoy’s
production of “The Best
Christmas Pageant Ever.”
The show stars the Herdmans
who are the worst kids in the
history of the world. They
lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear
and hit little kids. So no one
is prepared when this outlaw
family invades church one
Sunday and decides to take over
the annual Christmas pageant.
None of the Herdmans have
ever heard the Christmas story
before. Their interpretation of
the tale — the wise men are a
bunch of dirty spies, and Herod
needs a good beating — has a
lot of people up in arms. But it
will make this year’s pageant
the most unusual anyone has
seen and, just possibly, the best
one ever.
The show will be on McCoy’s
Grand Stage, 121 North Main
St., Moorefield, Nov. 21, 22,
28 and 29, at 7 p.m. and Nov.
23 and 30, at 2 p.m. Tickets

Richmond Lauds Lincoln
Nov. 11, 1864 — Counter
intuitively,
the
Richmond
newspapers lauded the reelection of Lincoln. Their
praise was founded on 1st,
that Lincoln’s poor leadership
insured an eventual Southern
victory, and 2nd, his presence as
the Federal leader would work
to unite a solid South to stand
against Northern aggression.
The Southern press likewise
disparaged the candidacy of
McClellan explaining that his
leadership would have brought
the war to a negotiated peace
by dividing the South and
subverting its purity.
Richmond Whig, Nov. 15,
1864
“The Presidential Election”
… Lincoln has been reelected.
Few have doubted from the first
that this would be the result,
and fewer still will regret it.
The policy of conciliation…
which McClellan would have
attempted,
was
something
more to be dreaded than
Lincoln’s armies and navies.
With Lincoln… our people will
continue to stand as one… a
united South against a divided
North. With McClellan it might
have been a united North against
a divided South, in which event
all that we have been striving for
in this four years’ struggle would
have been lost. But Lincoln is
to continue to be the master of
the Yankees, and the spectre of
reconstruction vanishes forever.
Richmond Enquirer, Nov. 11,
1864
Lincoln has been reelected
President of the United States.
So far as the people of these
(Confederate)
States
are
interested, the reelection of
Lincoln is entirely satisfactory.
For us, he is the right man in
the right place. We would not
have him defeated, but gave all
the influence of the Enquirer to
him. Our reasons were entirely
selfish. We prefer an ignorant,
brutal tool as Commander-inChief of the enemy to any other
man. He suits us entirely. Gen.
McClellan might have given us
more trouble, but we have taken
the measure of Lincoln, and know
exactly his entire worthlessness.
This reelection of Lincoln binds
our people still firmer together…
We know that it means continued
war… There is no prospect for
peace… Let our authorities
begin immediately the work
of reorganizing the army,
consolidating the regiments,
filling up the ranks, improving
the cavalry and preparing for
the Spring campaign.
On its face, the Richmond
papers did their best to present
a courageous front; in reality,
the noose was tightening. Gen.
Lee was retreating before Grant
as both sparred to the east of the
Confederate capitol. Generals
Sherman and Sheridan were on
the loose; Sherman in Georgia
and Sheridan in the Shenandoah
were incinerating the South’s
ability to wage war. No amount
of bravado could dissuade the
South; they knew Lincoln’s reelection meant inevitable defeat.

Andrea Kerns served as a
very active 4-H’er growing up
in the Hampshire County 4-H
program. She was a member
of the Savilla-Vale Strugglers
4-H Club where she served
as the president and vicepresident. Some of her favorite
memories include winning
the spirit stick at 4-H camp,
receiving her charting pin and
being introduced into the WV
4-H All Stars. Andrea shared,
“4-H has helped me become
the person I am today. It taught
me invaluable life skills and the
importance of being an active
member of my community. I
treasure the friendships I have
made through 4-H.” Andrea
now gives back to 4-H as a
volunteer leader in Hampshire
County. Andrea has served as a
4-H volunteer for 6 years. She
most recently served as the
organizational
leader
with
the Romney Rising Stars 4-H
Club. Andrea is always ready
to serve others when asked. She
has served as a full-time camp
counselor during Hampshire
County 4-H Camp. She has

November meeting
thorne
Champ
County Fair as well as the
daylong 4-H field days. Teresa
remembers the monthly 4-H
meetings always being in
homes. Fellow members really
got to know families. This is
one thing that Teresa has tried
to carry on with her club. She
has strived to make the 4-H
meetings and club outings
family friendly. “Good strong
family role models are important

and aunt/uncle were my club
leaders. They became ‘parents’
to all the members. That is
something that I wanted to do
when I became leader.” Teresa

positive,
hardworking and genuinely
cares about all of the 4-H’ers
she comes in contact with. “As
a kid, 4-H was a fun thing to
do… as an adult, I see the life
lessons that I learned from
being a 4-H member. I pray that
current 4-H’ers will see those
same lessons as they grow in the

safety efforts, according to
officials at AAA East Central.
Six additional departments
received gold and silver awards
in recognition of their hard work.
The platinum awards were
given to “commendable leaders”
for their safety efforts and
enforcement activities geared
toward making communities
safer. The recipients of the
prestigious
awards
were
Berkeley Springs, Charles Town,
Harpers Ferry, Martinsburg,
Moorefield, Petersburg and
Piedmont police departments;
Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan
county sheriffs’ departments;
and West Virginia State Police
Troop 2, Charles Town.
Gold awards, the 2nd highest

awarded to Romney, Ranson
and

departments; and Hampshire and
Mineral county sheriffs’ offices.
A silver award was presented
to
Shepherdstown
Police
Department.
“We are honored to recognize
these local departments for
their efforts in the Community
Traffic Safety program,” said J.J.
Miller, AAA East Central safety
advisor. “Each organization has
gone above and beyond the call
of duty to make their community
a safer place for motorists and
residents.”
To be eligible for the annual
awards, a community must

The company posted earnings of $2.33 million, or $1.74 a

Leonard recognized for 25 years of service
ROMNEy — Hampshire County Committee on Aging
recognizes employee Brenda Leonard for her 25 years of
dedicated service to the agency. Leonard has been a resident of
Hampshire County all her life.
She began her caregiving experience when her elderly father
had a stroke, and his health began to deteriorate. She and her
husband took care of him until his death.
Caring for her father, she realized that there is a great need for
senior health care workers, thus she began her career with HCCA.
Leonard provides various services through HCCA for her
clients, such as light housekeeping, taking her clients to their
doctor appointments and grocery shopping. She stated that most
of her clients use a wheelchair, and they need help with everyday
living. She had a client who when his kidneys began to fail,
she would drive him to Cumberland, Md., for dialysis 3 times
a week. She remembers another client whom she transported to
Winchester, Va., for cancer treatment who is now in remission.
Leonard had worked for a husband and wife for 12 years before
they passed away. “your clients become like family members and
good friends. They depend on you coming to work so they will
have help with things that they cannot do themselves. Most of
them live on a meager income; they do not have much and are
so grateful when you show them respect and kindness. It really
makes you feel good that you can help them in their day-to-day
life,” remarked Leonard.
Leonard states, “HCCA has programs to offer clients in a variety
of situations and they also work with their employees when they
need time off to take care of family matters.” She also participates
in the continuing educational training sessions offered by HCCA
to keep up-to-date on state requirements.
Leonard and her husband, Al, have been married for 44 years.
They have a dog named Molly and 5 cats. In her spare time, she
likes to read.

November
clicks in
Jim
KinG
O, it sets my hart a-clickin’
like the tickin’ of a clock
When the frost is on the
punkin and the fodder’s in the
shock.
I once had a friend complain
that August needed a holiday to
break the monotony that built as
summer wound to an end.
Today I’m thinking
November has the reverse
problem, and I’d probably feel
that way even if I wasn’t a
newspaper guy.
In West Virginia the 11th
month is bringing us:
Elections,
Veterans Day,
High school football and
volleyball playoffs,
The start of buck season,
Thanksgiving,
Black Friday and
The advent of … Advent.
That’s a lot. Any 1 or 2 of
them is worth building a whole
month around. The whole kit
and caboodle just makes a
month that should feel great
seem more like we’re rushing
from pillar to post.
We sweep away the starspangled promises and bashings
of the election only to trot out,
less than a week later, starspangled salutes to the men and
women who have served in our
military. Those great Veterans
Day car and furniture sales toss
around more of the red, white
and blue too.
Football and volleyball
have given way to tryouts for
basketball and wrestling.
The schedule beginning about
2 weeks ago went something
like this: sectional volleyball
championship on Thursday
at HHS, final football game
on Friday at Rannells Field,
cheerleading regionals Saturday
at Buckhannon-Upshur along
with volleyball regionals at
Elkins, and basketball and
wrestling practice began on
Monday.
Oh yeah, girls’ basketball,
which began a week earlier.
And swimming started back in
October.
That’s not the most
demanding stretch of the
month, though. That’s next
week.
Next Monday is arguably
the biggest unofficial holiday
in West Virginia — the start of
Buck Season. That’s Buck with
a capital “B” and Season with a
finisHinG up
capital “S.”
you can feel the anticipation
building. We have our special
preview of the season in this
week’s Review. Across the state
hunting supplies are flying off
store shelves and preparations
are being made to be in the
right spot when dawn breaks on
Nov. 24.
Heck, even school is called
off for the week.
Thanksgiving itself almost
becomes an anticlimax in the
Mountain State. Where’s the
excitement in plating a meal
that came from a store —turkey
from the grocery freezer,
cranberry sauce from a can,
pumpkin pie from Miller’s
— when hunters have been
shooting and dressing deer all
week?
If a big meal in the middle
of hunting isn’t enough, how
about the distraction of 3 NFL
games, which only used to be 2,
Reminder
but now more is 3?
Layered over all the Buck
Season-Thanksgiving hubbub is
the specter of Black Friday.
Granted, there’s not the
impending excitement of
just 2 years ago when Black
Friday actually began in the
wee hours of Friday morning.
Instead there’s this weeklong or month-long morass of
rolling Black Friday. The name
signifies a moment in myth,
replaced by Kohl’s opening
Thanksgiving evening, Sears’
jump-the-gun of Monday and
Wal-Mart’s “We’ve been Black
Fridaying since Halloween”
approach.
Who knows when to hit
the stores for the best deals?
But then, maybe that’s the
confusion the retailers are
trying to create so you stop in
more than once just to be sure.
All the shooting and eating
and football and buying sort
of overwhelms the end of
next week and the last day
of the month. It’s the 4th
Sunday before Christmas,
which marks the beginning
of the Christian year in many
churches and turns our hearts
toward preparing for that great
Christmas gift.
Maybe that’s the best day of
all in a jam-packed November.
